Description:
------------
The Postscript (ps) extension does not work in PHP7 and never has:

https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74124

But you wouldn't know it from reading the manual:

http://php.net/manual/en/book.ps.php

As far as I can tell, this extension was never deprecated, but it clearly was not considered a blocking issue for the release of PHP7.

How can I tell which PECL extensions are actually supported, and which (like ps) are effectively not?

1. The ps changelog specifically mentions that 1.4.0 supports PHP 7 ("phpng") and no longer supports PHP 5. Even Linux distros are bundling ps-1.4.0 with their PHP 7 builds.
2. If ps didn't support PHP 7 at all then you wouldn't even be able to use the extension because PHP would have ignored it during startup. With a warning.

I don't even see anything in your backtrace to suggest ps is at fault: the crash is happening while opcache is compiling a file during an autoload.

Thank you for replying so quickly!

Is bug 74124 a bug in the PHP core, then? (Forgive my ignorance of PHP internals.)

It seems to me that a segfault is a bug in PHP itself -- if there's a bug in my code, PHP should politely tell me. Is that true, or are there cases where a segfault is my (the PHP programmer's) responsibility?

Rule of thumb is that PHP shouldn't segfault due to a problem with userland code, but there are occasional exceptions (eg, some instances of infinite recursion). Your problem doesn't look like one that I recognize.
