Description:
------------
We have a complex application, which uses frameworks like Symfony2, Doctrine2, ZF1 and has a lot of traffic.

We are trying to upgrade to PHP 5.4 (from 5.3.14, which is currently in production), but we are encountering a lot of segfaults in php-fpm or fatal errors like:

* require(): Failed opening required '/path/to/vendor/symfony/symfony/src/Symfonyl 6sr ' - here the file name is corrupted.
* Undefined class constant '/path/to/actual/source/file.php' - notice the file path instead of constant name;

PHP Configure Command =>  './configure'  '--with-mysql' '--with-gd' '--with-gettext' '--with-imap' '--with-imap-ssl' '--enable-ftp' '--with-ldap' '--with-ldap-sasl' '--enable-mbstring' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-pdo-mysql' '--enable-pcntl' '--enable-zip' '--with-pear' '--with-config-file-path=/etc/php5/apache2' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php5/conf.d/' '--with-openssl' '--with-openssl-dir=/usr' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr' '--with-kerberos' '--enable-sockets' '--with-curl' '--enable-soap' '--enable-fpm' '--prefix=/opt/php-fpm' '--with-zlib' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--with-libdir=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu'

Test script:
---------------
I cannot provide a code for replicating the issue - it seems to me that it occurs randomly - but a lot.

Expected result:
----------------
No seg fault.

Actual result:
--------------
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Extra:

For autoloading, we use a custom, decorated version of ComposerAutoloader (https://github.com/composer/composer/blob/master/src/Composer/Autoload/ClassLoader.php) which uses APC for caching.

Our APC configuration is (generally defaults, with apc.stat=0):

[apc]
apc.stat = false
apc.stat_ctime = false
apc.slam_defense = 0                    ;spreads load on startup, only caches percent of requests
apc.write_lock = 1                      ;the non blocking write lock us preferred to setting slam_defense
apc.file_update_protection = 2          ;read updated files after given delay to prevent loading incomplete files
apc.ttl = 0                             ;max ttl
apc.user_ttl = 0
apc.gc_ttl = 3600                       ;remove expired entries as soon as gc ttl expires
apc.max_file_size = 1M                  ;limits the maximum file size in cache
apc.filters = "(.*dashboard.*)|(.*includes.*)"
apc.cache_by_default = true             ;cache all files that DON'T match filters

apc.rfc1867 = On                        ;upload progress support
apc.rfc1867_freq = 0                    ;update freq in percent of file size or per byte count
apc.rfc1867_name = APC_UP_PROGRESS      ;hidden form input name for apc user variable key
apc.rfc1867_prefix = upload_            ;prefix for the apc user variable key

apc.shm_size = 256M
apc.include_once_override = 0

If you are having problems with APC and PHP 5.4 I suggest trying 
http://pecl.php.net/package/ZendOpcache instead. That is where development is 
focused now.

we also get undefined class constant errors like described above, where the constant name looks like a FQCN, e.g. 

PHP Fatal error:  Undefined class constant '/library/Requests/Auth/Basic.php' in YY.php on line XX

not sure if it is an APC bug or php bug.

we are on PHP 5.4.15-1~precise+1 using APC 3.1.13

We are having also issue on APC (3.1.13) and PHP 5.4.45. Magento store throwing 500 errors at checkout. 

As soon as APC was removed as source of caching for the store, the errors stopped.

APC is no longer supported in favor of opcache that comes bundled with PHP, if you wish to use the user cache, then look at PECL/APCu.
