Description:
------------
PHP is running as an Apache module. The following configuration was used to compile PHP:
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2 --enable-debug --disable-all

Test script:
---------------
1. Be sure browscap directive is commented out in php.ini
2. Set browscap setting in Apache configuration file, i.e. php_admin_value browscap "/some/path/browscap.ini"
3. Run the following PHP script:
<?php
ini_set('browscap', '/some/path/browscap.ini');
get_browser();

Expected result:
----------------
Notice or another type of message that indicates a misconfiguration (browscap directive is of the PHP_INI_SYSTEM type and can not be set/changed with ini_set() function or in Apache configuration file)

Actual result:
--------------
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The problem is not ini_set, the segault occurs because PHP assumes the parse result of the code is initialized when the ini setting is non-empty; however, by using php_admin_value, the ini setting value is set after when the parsing code runs, so when it runs it leaves memory initialized because the ini setting is empty.

This should be fixed by having the ini setting change via php_admin_value trigger the ini reading and structure initialization.

Log: - Fixed bug #54580 (get_browser() segmentation fault when the browscap ini
  directive is set in activation time). This commit fixes this by adding a per
  request parsing of the browscap file that's when get_browser is called the
  first time and the directive is set on activation time.w

Fixed in SVN. Since the fix is non-trivial, I would ask you to try it out and report any problem you may find.

Thanks for your report.
