also tested `alpha` architecture which has also 64bit cpu:

[glen@fly ~]$ php xmlrpc-segv.php
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast):

Does it matter if you compile the extension statically or not?
I can't reproduce it on Linux x86_64 and the backtrace IMo shows that the problem is somewhere in libxmlrpc, not in PHP.
 [2007-06-06 15:15 UTC] glen at delfi dot ee 
yes. appears that the bug is somewhere in xmlrpc-epi-0.51, as if 
compiled without system xmlrpc-epi (either statically or as module) 
it won't segfault.
 [2007-06-06 15:19 UTC] tony2001@php.net 
Not PHP problem -> bogus.
