Description:
------------
I installed Apache 2.0.55 with PHP 4.4.0. I got lots of entries like the following in the error log:

[Mon Oct 17 18:19:04 2005] [notice] child pid 9385 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

They occure on pages with HTML code like

...
<body>
<!--#include virtual="/php/body_header.php" -->
...
<!--#include virtual="/php/body_footer.php" -->
</body>

With only one of the includes (either one) all works well. Back with Apache 2.0.54 and PHP 4.4.0 I haven't got this problem.

I stripped down the PHP scripts to just print a small text using echo(), but the problem remained.

Reproduce code:
---------------
see above

Actual result:

I tried the STABLE-200510311345 snapshot under linux and it works so far. Thanks.

Could someone please point me to the changes which fixed the problem?
 [2005-11-07 16:50 UTC] markus-php at anthill dot de 
In tests with PHP 4.4.1 under solaris I don't get the segmentation faults any more, but the SSI seems to be simply ignored now.
 [2005-11-07 23:43 UTC] markus-php at anthill dot de 
with PHP 4.4.0 I had a segmentation fault (see above). According to the backtrace the problems seems to be in the PHP code. When switching from PHP 4.4.0 to 4.4.1 the segmentation fault seems to have gone, but the result isn't ok yet. As I am not that familiar with gdb I can't really tell if it is a problem with Apache or PHP or something else.
I'll make some tests during the next days and try to dig further into this.

I have the same problem under this platform:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (i386) fully updated
- Apache 2.0.55 compiled from sources
- PHP 4.3.11 / 4.4.1 / LATEST 4.4 from CVS compiled from sources

The bug is NOT present under Apache 2.0.54.

Same problem also with PHP 5.1 LATEST from CVS.

Provide a short reproduce case and the GDB backtrace if you still able to replicate it.

Apache compile configuration:
./configure \
--prefix="/services/apache_so-2.0.54" \
--enable-modules='rewrite so speling ssl' \
--disable-userdir

PHP compile configuration:
./configure \
"--prefix=/services/php-4.4-CVS" \
"--with-apxs2=/services/apache/bin/apxs" \
"--with-openssl" \
"--with-config-file-path=/services/httpd/conf" \
"--with-mysql=/usr" \
"--with-zlib" \
"--with-gd" \
"--with-jpeg-dir" \
"--with-png-dir" \
"--with-ldap" \
"--with-freetype-dir" \
"--with-mcrypt=/services/libmcrypt" \
"--with-curl" \
"--with-freetds=/services/freetds" \
"--enable-mbstring"

Example pages:
- test.html
<html>
<body>
<!--#include virtual="test.php" -->
<!--#include virtual="test.php" -->
</body>
</html>

- test.php
<? echo 'TEST'; ?>

With only one "include virtual" all works fine.
With the two include virtual the Apache child process associated exit
with segmentation fault after the output of the first include.

At this moment I don't be able to provide GDB backtrace...

same problem found in suse 9.3 mod_php4 4.3.10
and gentoo mod_php-4.4.0-r9 but seems to be fixed
in latest php4 and php5-cvs (tried 10 minutes ago)
 [2005-11-30 19:27 UTC] iliaa@php.net 
Thank you for your bug report. This issue has already been fixed
in the latest released version of PHP, which you can download at 
http://www.php.net/downloads.php

finally i am now able to get both simple SSI to run after disabling output_buffering. it works now under linux and solaris if the called script were simple. if they both include the same third script i get

PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare foo() (previously declared in /path/to/third/script) in /path/to/third/script

there still is some problem in the work between apache and php
