I'm not sure if this is a PHP bug, but here it is:

I have glib 2.3.4 and aspell 0.60.3.

BTW, PHP segfaults when using aspell 0.50.5, so we should probably bump the version requirements (reference: http://sf.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100245&aid=1238839&group_id=245

I don't know what kind of info you want...

Well, here it is the script used (which is above):
<?
$pspell_link = pspell_new('en');
pspell_config_mode($pspell_link, PSPELL_FAST);
?>

config.nice:
'./configure' \
'--disable-cgi' \
'--enable-pcntl' \
'--with-ftp' \
'--with-tidy' \
'--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' \
'--with-readline' \
'--with-bz2' \
'--with-zlib' \
'--with-openssl' \
'--with-pspell' \
'--with-zend-vm=GOTO'

Now the program receives a SIGABRT and backtrace shows readline.
In fact it seems I cannot reproduce the problem if I execute the script from a file, just when I run PHP in interactive mode (and when I use the auto-completition feature).

I'll try to debug this stupid thing.

Well, after some debugging I've found the problem. it was much simpler that I though.
The problem was that strcpy() was copying 1 more char than the memory allocated, corrupting it.

Marcus, you're the author of CLI completion, plz take a look at the patch.
