Description:
------------
Freebsd 4.9 
Apache 2.0.59  php 5.2.8

Upgrading for new install of php 5.2.8 causes a general fault in the SSL apache engine, resulting in a core dump. It is noted that when the server is started in non SSL mode the server starts and no core dump. However, $_post causes a php error of out of memory. Tracing back it comes from the array table SPL.

The same exact configuration was used for 5.2.6 which is not experiencing this problem. Recompiled and install 5.2.6 as a work around.

The config is as follows:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-force-cgi-redirect --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-sock=/var/mysqlsocket/mysql.sock --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/libjpeg --with-png-dir=/usr/local/libpng --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/zlib --with-gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/freetype --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php/etc --with-iconv=/usr/local/libiconv -with-mcrypt=/usr/local/libmcrypt --with-libxml-dir=/usr/local/libxml --with-imap=/usr/local/imapclient --with-imap-ssl --disable-ipv6 --with-curl=/usr/local/curl --enable-bcmath --enable-ftp

Tried the same on a newer machine:
Freebsd 6.3 AMD64  apache 2.2.9
Compiled 5.2.8 and same exact results as 4.9. Core dump. Interesting aspect there is absolutely no information other than using gdb to step through apache.
Slight different config. Because of package locations. 
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-force-cgi-redirect --with-openssl=/usr  --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-sock=/var/socket/mysqlsocket --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/sbin/apxs --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/libjpeg --with-png-dir=/usr/local/libpng --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/zlib --with-gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/freetype --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php/etc --with-libxml-dir=/usr/local/libxml --with-iconv=/usr/local/libiconv --with-curl=/usr/local/curl --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/mcrypt --with-imap=/usr/local/imapclient --with-imap-ssl --disable-ipv6 --with-ftp

During the tests
this failure of 5.2.8 during make test was observed.

Reproduce code:
---------------
None required.
See above

Expected result:
----------------
See description  core dump

Actual result:
--------------
See description. not overly long.

No field for this part:
Also note http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=php+&stype=all&sektion=lang, there a number of files/patches for 5.2.8 that is not included or shown in php. I have not retested with the patches, since php should compile  and operate out of the box. Not everyone agrees with the changes of directory structure in Freebsd.
