This code crashes Apache on Tru64 Unix version 5.1A: 
 
<?php 
 
echo htmlspecialchars("That crashes Apache", ENT_QUOTES, 
"ISO-8859-1"); 
 
?> 
 
(dbx) run -X -f /pubmail/apache/conf/httpd.conf 
Unaligned access pid=148971 <httpd> va=0x14009ff7c

I suspect it's 64-bit cleanness-related.

If htmlspecialchars called with three parameters, 
zend_parse_parameters (inside php_html_entities function) 
doesn't properly initialize str pointer.

Could you provide us a backtrace so we can have a better insight into this issue?

If you are unsure how to generate a backtrace, see
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php

Thanks for your cooperation.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

The fix will be in 4.3.2
