Description:
------------
We recently upgraded several servers to PHP 5.2.6, and the one server we current have configured with APC is running into segfaults (quite frequently). Here's the configuration for that server:

Apache 1.3.41
PHP 5.2.6 (w/ following extensions)
* OCI8 1.2.3
* Suhosin 0.9.27
* ZIP 1.8.10
* xdebug 2.0.0

Here's our PHP configure line:
./configure --prefix=/opt/php.${DATE} --with-apxs=/opt/apache/bin/apxs --with-openssl --with-mysql --with-curl=../curl-7.12.2 --enable-track-vars --enable-sockets --enable-sysvshm --enable-sysvsem --enable-posix --with-pear --enable-sigchild --enable-php-streams --with-gettext --enable-ftp --with-xml --with-gd --with-zlib --with-dom --with-mm --with-mcrypt --enable-mbstring --enable-soap

The only relevant changes we've made to our php.ini are configuration parameters for the various extensions. These parameters worked just fine for our previous installations. We just upgraded from PHP 5.1.6 and APC 3.0.16, as well as upgrading from HardenedPHP 0.4.15 to Suhosin 0.9.27 (extension only, not using the patch). Everything else is unchanged.

It might (or might not) also be worth noting that we're using the same configuration as above, minus APC and xdebug, on two other servers that are not experiencing this issue at all.


Reproduce code:
---------------
We're unable to isolate a single script that is triggering this issue. It seems to be happening randomly.

Actual result:

Something looks really odd here

0x007d7f9d in apc_pthreadmutex_unlock (lock=0x657e1d)
0x007d1a51 in apc_cache_find_slot (cache=0x9458ea8,
0x007d1b07 in apc_cache_find (cache=0x657e1d, 

if you still have this core lying around, can you tell me what the following return in gdb

(gdb) p apc_cache
(gdb) p apc_cache->header
(gdb) p apc_cache->header->lock

And somehow the key itself changed

      {data = {file = {device = 18, inode = 6651421},

to 
      {data = {file = {device = 18, inode = 0},

Thanks for such a quick response. Here's the gdb output you requested.

(gdb) p apc_cache
$1 = (apc_cache_t *) 0x843be48
(gdb) p apc_cache->header
$2 = (cache_header_t *) 0xab3a6048
(gdb) p apc_cache->header->lock
$3 = {__m_reserved = 0, __m_count = 0, __m_owner = 0x0, __m_kind = 0, __m_lock = {__status = -1073786452, __spinlock = 0}}

According to <https://bugs.php.net/69618>, APC support has been
discontinued in favor of OPcache, APCu, the session upload
progress API and WinCache. Therefore this issue won't get fixed.
