Bug #1035 ereg_replace() causes segmentation fault in Apache+mod_ssl

After using the apxs utility that comes with Apache to reconfigure and install PHP3 3.0.5 as a DSO, I attempted to access a script that was previously working on the same machine.  By eliminating a line of code at a time, It seems that the ereg_replace function in the code snippit below is causing the problem.  If I comment that line out, my script works just fine, if I leave it in, it causes Apache to report and Segmentation Fault and IE4 tells me that the server returned an invalid response.

<?
 $fp = fopen($dat_file_name, "r");
 $count = -1;
 while(!feof($fp)) {
   $data = explode(":", fgets($fp, 1024));
   // chomp
   $data[0] = chop($data[0]);
   $data[1] = ereg_replace( "\n", "", $data[1] );

   $tmp_array[$data[0]] = $data[1];

 }
 fclose($fp); 

?>

This is because the RH Apache RPM disables hsregex and PHP's configure mechanism wasn't smart enough to detect this.  As of 3.0.8 it will be, but for now either use the Apache-1.3.6 RPM from http://www.lerdorf.on.ca/apache/ or configure php using --with-system-regex
