Description:
------------
We use Apache2 with Worker MPM here.
PHP's children die all the time:
[Thu May 06 14:39:24 2004] [notice] child pid 30028 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Thu May 06 14:39:27 2004] [notice] child pid 30094 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Thu May 06 14:39:29 2004] [notice] child pid 30158 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Thu May 06 14:39:31 2004] [notice] child pid 30222 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Thu May 06 14:39:33 2004] [notice] child pid 30286 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
etc.

My configure line:
'./configure' '--with-pear' '--enable-experimental-zts' '--with-mysql' '--with-mysql-socket=/tmp/mysql.sock' '--disable-ipv6' '--enable-safe-mode' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-imap=/usr/local/imap-2002e' '--with-gettext' '--with-xml' '--with-dom' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr'

Nothing unique here.

The diff between php.ini-dist and my php.ini below:
http://www.kaktos.co.il/~noam/php.ini-diff

I backtraced using your guidelines and it all leaded to
php's _db_return_ function in the mysql extension.

The code involved:
#ifndef THREAD
    if (state->framep != NULL)
      state->framep = (char **) *state->framep;
#endif

I concluded that PHP scripts who use MySQL, crash.
I tried to figure out the code, I couldn't. Strangely enough, if I commented it out every worked charmly.

I hope I helped --noam

P.S.: I've also tried the CVS version: php4-STABLE-200405061030,
with same results.

Thank you for your patience and this fine product!

Actual result:
