Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, 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 for *NIX and
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace-win32.php for Win32

Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug
report and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for helping
us make PHP better.

A gdb backtrace would be helpful. Allow your apache user to generate large enough core files, remove mod_backtrace, and wait for core files to appear. Then load them in gdb and send a gdb backtrace.

Do you have some php settings done using the php_value / php_flag / 
php_admin_value / php_admin_flag directives in httpd.conf, some file 
included by httpd.conf or some .htaccess file in your filesystem?

[2009-05-07 09:26 UTC] jimbobpalmer at gmail dot com

Yes, we use php_admin_value per vhost.

I noticed we have a few boolean php_admin_value options. I have changed these to php_admin_flag.

[2009-05-07 12:47 UTC] jani@php.net

Was that backtrace really produced with debug build? ie. with PHP build 
using --enable-debug ??

[2009-05-07 13:10 UTC] jimbobpalmer at gmail dot com

Yes. Both apache and php are compiled with debug.

[2009-05-07 13:19 UTC] jani@php.net

Exactly what MPM are you using and what PHP SAPI module?

[2009-05-07 13:44 UTC] jimbobpalmer at gmail dot com

Worker MPM + apache2handler

[2009-05-07 14:00 UTC] jani@php.net

That explains it. You propably wouldn't have any problems if you didn't 
use threaded MPM. Try the more stable prefork MPM instead.

[2009-05-07 19:08 UTC] jimbobpalmer at gmail dot com

Is php not thread safe?

[2009-05-07 22:42 UTC] jani@php.net

Can you just try with prefork MPM so we can make the list of possible 
issues a bit shorter..? 

And yes, supposedly PHP is thread safe, just some libraries might not be 
and of course there might be bugs in PHP.

[2009-05-13 09:38 UTC] jimbobpalmer at gmail dot com

> Can you just try with prefork MPM so we can make the list of
> possible issues a bit shorter..? 

Prefork has had no segfaults in more than two days, versus 10 hours for the first segfault with the worker mpm (then a mass of segfaults a day or two later).

[2009-05-18 13:03 UTC] jimbobpalmer at gmail dot com

Still no segfaults. What do you want me to do next?

[2009-09-18 19:04 UTC] jani@php.net
