Got the the same problem on a 64bit linux-platform with php 5.3.10
After some testing , i found that this change stopped the segfaults for me
in radius.c
PHP_FUNCTION(radius_create_request)
{
        int code;
// --> change to :
        long code;

My C is quite rusty, so not sure if this is proper fix, but i posted this here in case this helps someone (to make the proper fix :)
(It's still typed as int in rad_create_request.)

Just upgraded to PHP 5.3.10 on Max OS Lion 10.7.3 and encountered the same seg fault from apache when radius_create_request is called.

Apache/2.2.19 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.19 OpenSSL/1.0.0d DAV/2 PHP/5.3.10.

Results same as below.  Will be trying the proposed work around.

I've investigated and the solution proposed on [2012-04-04 18:55 UTC] by ptaskinen at gmail dot com seems actually the correct one. This is detailed in http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/trunk/README.PARAMETER_PARSING_API?view=markup where it actually explicitly mentions that feeding ints into the zend parser function while asking for a long will lead to segfaults on 64 bit.

Changing it will make the module work again and matches with PHP's api documentation. I'm attaching it as a proper patch.
