Description:
------------
A web server crashes erratically due to a segmentation fault.
When analyzing a GDB backtrace we see it happens inside APC code:

#0  0x0000002a96fe57fe in apc_request_shutdown () at /path_to_src/APC-3.1.3p1/apc_main.c:871
871                 for (i = 0; cache_entry->data.file.classes[i].class_entry != NULL; i++) {

(gdb) print ((apc_cache_entry_t*) apc_globals.cache_stack).data
$17 = {file = {filename = 0xa86200 "?\222F\227*", op_array = 0x7700000140, functions = 0x0, classes = 0x31, 
    halt_offset = 7598807758542366034}, user = {info = 0xa86200 "?\222F\227*", info_len = 320, val = 0x0, ttl = 49}}

(gdb) print *((apc_cache_entry_t*) apc_globals.cache_stack).data.file.classes
Cannot access memory at address 0x31


There's no PHP backtrace once this error happens (e.g zbacktrace produces an empty output), e.g the script execution has finished or never began.

We will be happy to supply any additional required information.

We do see cases in which CacheFullCount is starting to grow infinitely. Once it happens the server becomes significantly slow, and we get from apc_cache_info() an empty cache_list, but deleted_list contains all the PHP source files. Since we are not sure both problems are related, we will report about it in a different bug report.

Reproduce code:
---------------
This error is being reproduced in many different pages in the site. Since the GDB doesn't contain a PHP backtrace we assume that it doesn't related to PHP code.

Actual result:
