Description:
------------
following the directions at

http://se2.php.net/filesystem

i'm attempting to introduce largefile support into the debian packages before we release etch.  on my own system (amd64) it seems to work just fine, but on other systems (x86?  maybe some other arches?) the apache children immediately segfault.

there are a couple bugs on this in the Debian BTS:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=397465

note that this also occurs with php 4.4.4 as well

Reproduce code:
---------------
compile with CFLAGS including

-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

Expected result:
----------------
support for large files

Actual result:
--------------

Of course it will segfault, as those flags change size of the structs used in Apache.
And if Apache was compiled with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and PHP was NOT, you end up with different structures and this apparently won't work.
You need either compile them both with those flags or remove the flags for both.

hi tony,

given that i've followed the directions on your site for doing this, perhaps instead of marking the bug bogus we could  reassign/recategorize it as a documentation bug
for incorrect/incomplete documentation?

for the problem at hand, will php4/php5 automatically derive the file offset size etc from the CFLAGS used to build apache?  or, do i manually have to determine them?  if so, what is your recommended method?
