Hello,

In a unit test suite, when I call pcntl_signal, I got a segfault :

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.

The symbol seems not available whereas I compiled my PHP with the enable-debug 
option :

php --version

Expected result:
----------------
No seg fault

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

It is really hard to figure out what is causing this. Please try to reduce the code as much as possible (throw out other tests, run test code manually outside the test framework etc)

Hi Johannes,

I failed at trying to reproduce the segfault with a simple script.
The error occurs on PHP 5.4 and PHP 5.5 (not PHP 5.3).

The unit test suite of this project https://github.com/alchemy-fr/task-
manager/tree/0b5f77bdc01d2357a69c75d05921f82bc463f020 (at this commit) reproduces 
the bug.
