Description:
------------
apache Apache/2.2.13:
env CFLAGS="-DBIG_SECURITY_HOLE" ./configure --enable-so && make && make install

php 5.3.0:
./configure --with-apxs2 && make && make install

-DBIG_SECURITY_HOLE allows for root startup (administrative builds for panels and such...) when this flag is used to compile apache, php will crash when posix_setuid posix_seteuid posix_setgid or posix_setegid are used to change the user/group.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

 posix_seteuid(1000);
 posix_setegid(1000);
 posix_setuid(1000);
 posix_setgid(1000);

?>

(make sure you use a number that has an actual user...)

Expected result:
----------------
change to that user.

Actual result:
--------------
php and apache crash.

Please try using this snapshot:

For Windows:

And provide a GDB backtrace if it still crashes.

the problem still exists, I'm not sure i can use gdb since it's a problem interfacing with apache. I'll try tonight.
