The PostgreSQL version is: 7.0.2

My current configuration is a follow:
'./configure' '--with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql' '--bindir=/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin'
                                   '--with-dbase=yes' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect=yes' '--enable-ftp=yes'
                                   '--with-mysql=no' '--with-gd=no' '--with-imap=/usr/local'

By writing a file with only a single line such as <? pg_errormessage(); ?> and running php-4.0.1pl2 on it, php immediately returns a Sementation Fault and core dumps.

I have narrowed the crash down to the zend_fetch_resource() function within the zend_list.c file.  It appears to crash as soon as it hits the:
 
    if (!passed_id) {

...line.  I am suspecting that it is really crashing on the line:

     } else if ((*passed_id)->type != IS_RESOURCE) {

...because the passed_id referenced memory location is not valid for some reason.  I am not able to narrow it down any further as I am not familiar with the use of gdb and do not have it installed on this system.  (I guess I have been spoiled by MS.)

Fixed in CVS. (I'm really wondering why you are doing something as
stupid as calling a function that needs an open connection to
PostgreSQL server, but at least it helps to catch those places
where a variable could be used uninitialized...)

Dear Jah,

      A package called phpPgAdmin uses this function.  How else would you recommend the accessing of PostgreSQL data if we did not use "something as stupid as calling a function that needs an open connection to PostgreSQL server"?

Sincerely,

Albert.
