Are you sure that's all you have in your script? I tried this both on Debian and 
Ubuntu from CLI and under Apache and I also checked it with Valgrind. I see no 
memory issues with this.

Tested with Apache 2.4 (mod_proxy_fcgi) and PHP-FPM 5.4.

But if you are running php-fpm then there is no PHP code in your Apache process. 
It is only communicating via FastCGI. And since your segfault is in httpd then 
this isn't a PHP bug. It doesn't matter what we send over FastCGI to Apache, 
nothing we can possibly send should trigger a segfault. Report the bug to the 
Apache folks.

The problem occurs only with Apache 2.4, not in the CLI version of php.

Yes, but we can't fix bugs in Apache 2.4. Show me a stack of a segfault in actual 
PHP code and I can take a look.
