Description:
------------
When running either my own script or the sample script from php.net php crashes with a segmentation fault.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
ini_set("expect.loguser", "Off");

$stream = fopen("expect://ssh root@remotehost uptime", "r");

$cases = array (
    array (0 => "password:", 1 => PASSWORD)
);

switch (expect_expectl ($stream, $cases)) {
    case PASSWORD:
        fwrite ($stream, "password\n");
        break;
 
    default:
        die ("Error was occurred while connecting to the remote host!\n");
}

while ($line = fgets($stream)) {
      print $line;
}
fclose ($stream);
?>


Actual result:
--------------
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I also ran into libexpect.so.5.44.1.14 not functioning properly with the latest pecl/expect.

I copied an older version of libexpect.so.5.43.0 (from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS) renamed it to libexpect.so.5.44.1.14.
I also copied libexpect's tcl dependency of libtcl8.4.so.0 into /usr/lib as well.

This has restored access to my PHP scripts that utilize expect commands, though it's strictly a workaround at this point.

Looks like a bug in Ubuntu's libexpect. I've compiled Expect 5.44.1.14 from the original sources, and this bug doesn't happen. I'll investigate it more.

I'm still seeing this problem after trying both of the above workarounds.

PHP 5.3.5
PECL Expect 0.2.9

I am also having this problem. I have tried different versions of expect and php5.
 [2011-06-23 10:18 UTC] spektom at gmail dot com
This bug has been fixed in SVN.

In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the
end of next Sunday (CET) on pecl.php.net.

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