Description:
------------
The latest commit[1] on xhprof master creates frequent segmentation faults while profiling; no issues when xhprof_enable is not called.

  [notice] child pid 22045 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

It seems like there a bug in the patch for proxying zend_compile_string. The errors come out while running a modified version[2] of CiviCRM 3.4[3] which makes extensive use of evals in some portions of the code. Building the extension without the zend_compile_string commit produces a stable extension and will be our workaround unless this gets patched.

We have produced reproduced in both of our internal environments:

I can confirm this. If I have the extension active I randomly get the same errors running Drupal 7 using xhprof with the help of the devel module.

[Tue Jul 31 00:35:59 2012] [notice]
child pid 6138 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Tue Jul 31 00:38:15 2012] [notice]
child pid 6139 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Just deactivating Drupals devel module doesn't solve the problem. Only deactivating the extension does.

My VM:

xhprof	0.9.2 directly cloned and builded from github.

This also happens with our setup:

PHP 5.4.4 (cli)
Apache 2.2
CentOS 6.2 64-bit

To prevent further segmentation faults, we have disabled the extension, but would prefer to have it turned on..

I have also experienced this with PHP 5.3.18. Compiling and running the version 
previous revision (bc8ef04) is a workaround for now.
