Description:
------------
in php 5.0.4 with either apache 2 or apache 1.3 (there is no difference) click on phpMyadmin Browse tab generates a partial page with segfault(11) in apache log. Failed to find the exact cause because the moment of segfaulting DEPENDS on minor changes in the code for example an added echo.

With php 4.4 nothing like this happens and page loads properly.

on windows with apache2 and php 5.0.5dev the problem simply does not exist. Cant try the latest dev because of the disc space limitations of my box. no room for compile tools. all items involeved are a maching set of precompiled packages from linuxpackages site.



Reproduce code:
---------------
In phpMyadmin every time on clicking browse. go try.

Expected result:
----------------
phpMyadmin page with database results.

Actual result:
--------------
page with just tab headers.
GDB backtrace follows:

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 possible, make the script source available online and provide
an URL to it here. Try to avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

point: I cant give the reproduction code because Im not able to isolate it. commenting bits out just moves the pont of segfaulting. different amounts of page get shown. segfault happens in require statment of sql.php of file tbl_properties_links.php

during or right after calling PMA_printTab function in common.php . good luck figuring this one out. i cant find a bug that floats around at will.

Then ask the mysqladmin people to do that. We *require* a short reproducing script - we're not willing to debug just any application out there.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5-STABLE-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.0-win32-latest.zip

Please try latest snapshot before that.

Its an issue with t1lib versioning showing up in an odd place and claimed to be the fault of the config script. Works with t1lib 5.0.1 but not with t1lib 1.3.1.

If you cant run apache with a fault t1lib.so.5 cannot be found linking it to t1lib.so.1.3.1 IS NOT a solution. its the cause of issues like this.

Learn from my mistakes.
