Description:
------------
Although I do have a short code sample, I'm not sure where exactly or what 
conditions causes the segfault; I am 
unable to reproduce it myself. The backtrace indicates that this is indeed where 
the bug occurs.

The code sample below is an extract from a file that is included various times 
throughout a much larger 
application. fhash is not defined anywhere else.

Test script:
---------------
if(!function_exists('fhash')) {
    function fhash($file) {
         system('optipng ' . escapeshellarg(preg_replace('/src\/(\d+)\.(.+)$/', 'thumb/$1.png', $file)) . ' > /dev/null');
         return sha1_file($file);
    }
}

Expected result:
----------------
To ensure that fhash() is not declared multiple times as this file may be 
included multiple times.

Actual result:
--------------

Can you paste the short example please? As in not only the place where it occurs.

Well, the file that short extract is from is quite a large file. It is a 
configuration file for https://github.com/savetheinternet/Tinyboard. Aside 
from the fhash function, all the file does is modify an associative array which 
is originally defined elsewhere.

---------------
<?php
$config['something'] = false;
$config['something_else']['foo'] = 'bar';
// [...]
if(!function_exists('fhash')) {
---------------

As I said, I'm not able to reproduce this bug manually so I'm not sure where 
exactly it goes wrong, but I don't think anything else in the file is 
relevant.

When it happens, my syslog is filled up with the below, and I am forced to 
restart fastcgi.

I'll tell you what's wrong with the code STI when you ban Lazare and all the other Paulberg spammers.

Do you still get this? What is your PHP setup? 
Configuration parameters and modules? Do you use APC?

Sadly we don't know what PHP code cause this.
