I compiled php3 as Apache module for apache-3.1.6 with apxs.
The following code segment from HORDE crashes the apache process
executing the code each time:
function set_env_in_string($text) {
    
    /* skip any comment lines */
    if(ereg("([^#]*)#.*", $text, $regs)) {
	...
    }
}

I found that this is beause $regs is undefined. If you initialize with
$regs =""; all works fine.

Any ideas?

Works perfectly for me. Could you provide a backtrace?

This was most likely due to the fact that the apxs build did not pick up the HSREGEX setting in Apache.  This was fixed.
