This is very wierd.  php all of a sudden stopped working when we upgraded to apache 1.3.14, and I have two different backtraces depending on the machine.

This problem originated with 4.0.3.pl1, but I saw a bug report saying it was fixed in CVS so I tried the latest tarball on snaps.php.net as of Friday 12/15.

Compile Options
------------
This is from the spec file I am using:

compile() {
./configure \
        --prefix=%{_prefix} \
        --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --with-config-file-path=/etc \
        --enable-pic \
        --enable-inline-optimization \
        --with-exec-dir=%{_bindir} \
        --with-regex=system \
        --with-gettext \
        --with-gdbm \
        --enable-magic-quotes \
        --enable-safe-mode \
        --enable-sysvsem \
        --enable-sysvshm \
        --enable-track-vars \
        --enable-ftp \
        --with-mysql=/usr \
        --disable-versioning \
        --with-xml \
        --with-zlib \
        --enable-debug \
        --disable-pear \
        --disable-yp \
        $*
make
}

Then I am doing comile --enable-shared to build the DSO and --enable-static to build the php standalone.

php.ini
------
I have played around with several options in here and I do not think it is the problem.  I can supply it upon request.

Machine 1
-----------
Apache only sefgaults when there is an "ErrorLog" directive inside of a "VirtualHost" directive.  Backtrace below

Machine 2
--------
Apache seems to always segfault if there is a VirtualHost directive... it looks to me like it chokes while trying to resolve the ServerName but I could be wrong.

I thank you all very much for your time.  If you need any more information please let me know and I will be happy to supply it.

Cheers,
