Description:
------------
When calling SphinxClient with a string causing a negation 
error (e.g not escaping it well) a segmentation fault happens.

An example of a query which generates this code:

[root@my_server]# ./search -i index_name -e 'bla - ( x /- y )'
Sphinx 0.9.8.1-release (r1533)
Copyright (c) 2001-2008, Andrew Aksyonoff

using config file '/usr/local/sphinx-
0.9.8.1/etc/sphinx.conf'...
index 'index_name': search error: query error: negation is 
only allowed at top level.

Expected result:
----------------
Handling the error result object without a segmentation fault

Actual result:
--------------
GDB Backtrace:

(gdb) print *result
$2 = {error = 0xb21e17 "index exact: query error: negation 
is only allowed at top level", warning = 0x0, status = 1, 
  num_fields = 0, fields = 0x0, num_attrs = 10190000, 
attr_names = 0x0, attr_types = 0x0, num_matches = 10189552,

1601724781, num_words = 1701995617, words = 0x0}

As can be seen below, if the result is the above error 
(error = 0xb21e17 "index exact: query error: negation is 
only allowed at top level"), a segmentation fault happens 
and the Apache server crashes.

It seems this issue has the same cause as in http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=17007
Please, try this patch

Thank you Santiago.

It reduced the number of errors but haven't resolved it 
completely. I will post here once I have a GDB backtrace 
information.
 [2010-02-26 11:18 UTC] santiago739 at gmail dot com
Please try newer Sphinx client library version first. If problem still exists it would be nice if you rebuild the library with CFLAGS="-g2 -O0", the extension (and PHP) with --enable-debug and post `bt full` result here.
