Configuration: See http://sac.verio.net/info.php3

Problem: As soon as the "Import Passwords" button is clicked, I get a "Document Contains no Data" and the following error in the error_log.

     [Tue Jul 28 10:02:02 1998] [notice] httpd: child pid 10902 exit signal Segmentation Fault (11)

This worked fine with PHP 3.0, but not with 3.0.1 either.

Any chance you could run your server under gdb and get us a backtrace of this seg fault?

--

This doesn't look like a file upload problem to me, it
probably crashes in the code that processes the uploaded
file and not during the file upload itself.

My guess is that you've compiled/linked the regex
libraries badly.  See the FAQ for additional
details.

To check if this is indeed the case, comment out
the regular expression calls (all ereg*() functions) and
see if it still crashes.  If it doesn't, it means that
you have a regex messup that you need to fix.
If it still does, please try to remove get the smallest
script snippet that still reproduces the problem, and
submit a new bug report.
