If you call register_shutdown_function, and then in the registered function make a call to getenv, Apache segfaults.  

Here's a sample script:

<?PHP
function shutdowner()
{
    $out = fopen("/tmp/env.out", "at");
    fwrite($out, "getenv returned " . getenv("HOME") . "\n");
    fclose($out);
}

echo "Getenv returned " . getenv("HOME") . "\n";
register_shutdown_function("shutdowner");

?>

Please note.  This only happens when running as an apache module.  CLI works fine, and I'd assume that CGI does too.

I'll post a back trace if some kind soul will explain how to do it under RH linux using the messed up !apachectl method that they use to start apache.

Here's the back trace.  Still happens with current 4_2_0 CVS.  I'm checking HEAD right now.

It looks like register_shutdown_function is no longer performing as it has in the past.  I'll follow up this in another bug report.

Doesn't seem to happen with HEAD.
 [2002-07-11 02:59 UTC] sniper@php.net 
If it doesn't happen with HEAD..why is this report still open? :)
 [2002-07-11 10:19 UTC] jtate@php.net 
As long as there isn't another 4.2 release we're fine.  Otherwise, there's still an open bug.
