I have the sam problem (PHP 4.1.2 & Apache 1.3.23)
I'm intalling a new server so I'm the only one testing it but i still get Segmentation fault if I use Interbase.

To properly diagnose this bug, we need a backtrace to see what is
happening behind the scenes. To find out how to generate a backtrace,
please read http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php

Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug
report and change the status back to "Open".

--------------------

PHP was compiled with:

./configure --without-mysql --with-imap --with-imap-ssl --with-interbase --with-pgsql --with-kerberos --with-gettext --with-xml --with-apache=../apache_1.3.23/ --enable-track-vars --enable-debug

I found that if you pass the wrong type of object to ibase_free_result or ibase_free_query you cause the Apache child running the PHP script to segfault.  So, for example, if I create a query object and then later pass it to ibase_free_result I guarantee that the Apache child segfaults.  Maybe an object check should take place inside the ibase_free_result to see that it was actually passed a result rather than a query object.

Like one of the other people reporting this bug, the page renders to a point and then (I guess when Apache dies) no more of the document is returned.

I spent a week trying to solve this problem and it manifests itself in 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.

I'm running Red Hat 7.2 with Apache 1.3.20.  PHP was built using a very long set of options - if they are required please e-mail me and I will send them.  I'm running PHP as an Apache module without the CGI option.

I should mention that the problems occurs even if there is no call to Interbase at all. In our case we saw it happen in an index.php file which gets some session values and sets some constants base on the environment. It then creates html/javascript to open a new browser window. This didn't happen as the rendering ended inmidst the javascript code. Only after this is Interbase involved.

Had the same problems as described in first post in this thread. We tried an older apache, 1.3.20. This doesn't help, same problems occur: the stopping of php-parsing in the middle or end of an echo-command, and the exited on signal 11 message in var/log/messages.

Our php 4.1.2 configuration:
'./configure' '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--with-postgres=/usr/local/pgsql' '--with-gnu-ld' '--with-libz' '--with-bz2' '--with-gdbm' '--with-ndbm' '--with-gd' '--with-openssl' '--with-mm' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--with-mhash' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.20'

We tried an older version of Apache, because this seemed the only difference to another server where no exited-on-signal-11-messages were found in the /var/log/messages-file.

Didn't look at the difference in load though, shall ask our administrators about this.

Check out bug-report #14529, talking about propably the same problems there

It happens here also. I tried with several apache version, but the error is the same. I have to restart apache on hourly basis. With 4.06 it worked for months.

I've started experiencing something similar since I upgraded to 4.1.2.

The segfaults kept occuring during a POST operations, after enabling debug and rebuilding my rpms I then noticed the following messages in the apache error_log:

Unknown(0) : Warning - POST Content-Length of 75 bytes exceeds the limit of 16 bytes.

This left me scratching my head until I skimmed through php.ini and found the setting for post_max_size=16


comparison with another working php server that uses an older php.ini file this var was set to 8M.


this has affected two of my servers at the same time.  The only commonality that I have is that I use ZendIDE and recently updated from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 on both machines.

The third machine (working) has no Zend installations on it.

Does this happen with PHP 4.2.0 ?
