I have code that ran fine under 4.3.1 compiled with Apache like so:

'./configure' '--with-openssl' '--enable-memory-limit' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' '--with-zlib' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.27' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-curl=/usr/local' '--with-mcrypt=/usr/local'

It was compiled the same exact way with 4.3.2 except with a newer version of curl.

This same code now causes a segmentation fault under 4.3.2:

[Tue Jun  3 21:25:51 2003] [notice] child pid 12107 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

The offending code is related to a user defined error handler.  My current workaround: remove the error handling code.  I have isolated the problem to a single file and a function within that file.  When I comment out the code that loads this file and calls that function, the segfaults stop and the code runs as normal:

//include_once('lib/Error/Handler.php');
//CDS_Error_Handler_Init();

Furthermore, I have to call the function - loading the file alone does not cause the problem.  This error handler is a very old version of our current one which has changed significantly and has no problems in 4.3.2.  You can find the code here:

http://caffeine.contactdesigns.com/~jolt/Handler.phps

I hope this helps - I am in no way put in a bind because of this bug - it is old code and does nothing for us now.  Just hoping to help PHP out in any way possible.  I tried out RC1  on the developemntal servers, but as it is sometimes, you don't catch the bug until you go to production.

I can not reproduce this, I only get this:

Fatal error: CDS_Error_Handler_Init() - Missing parameters in /home/jani/t.php on line 62

(I just took that handler.phps and pasted it to a file and added the CDS_Error_Handler_Init(); line)

Could you please try creating a SHORT example script
which can be just copied and run..?
And/Or generate a GDB backtrace of this crash..

Here are the config parameters you will need to set prior to running the code (I only changed 4 from the original config where the crash was happening):

// Set environment - either production or development

$CDS_CONFIG['ENV_MODE'] = 'production';

// Semicolon delimited list of developers responsible

$CDS_CONFIG['ADMINS'] = 'some@email.com';

// Error log - be sure to specify full path

$CDS_CONFIG['ERROR_LOG'] = '/tmp/error.log';

// Template to be displayed to end users in production environment when an error
// occurs.  For example, "The web server has fallen and can't get up" ;-)

$CDS_CONFIG['ERROR_TEMPLATE'] = '/tmp/error_template.html';

// Error callback function that can alter the way the error handler behaves.
// Read lib/Error/Handler.php for more information.

$CDS_CONFIG['ERROR_CALLBACK'] = NULL;

// Set the error reporting level based on the environment

$CDS_CONFIG['ERROR_REPORTING'] = ($CDS_CONFIG['ENV_MODE'] == 'development')
                               ? (E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE)
                               : (E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// Log that debug messages are sent to (tail -f this file during debugging)

$CDS_CONFIG['DEBUG_LOG'] = '/tmp/debug.log';

// Specify where debug output goes ("browser" or "log")

$CDS_CONFIG['DEBUG_MODE'] = 'browser';

// Regular expression specifying which variables are not sent to debug output

$CDS_CONFIG['DEBUG_EXCLUSION'] = '/.*(?:HTTP|CDS)/s';
