Description :
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it
easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages. PHP also
offers built-in database integration for several commercial and
non-commercial database management systems, so writing a
database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common
use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts.

The php package contains the module which adds support for the PHP
language to Apache HTTP Server.

Test script:
---------------
It happens on highly loaded servers.

Expected result:
----------------
No segfaults, stable operation.

Actual result:
--------------

PHP process died when I done php-fpm reload. Request processing failed with 500 error.

Also I can notice periodical error occurrence without php-fpm restarts or reloads, for example:

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes. To
find out how to generate a backtrace, please read
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php for *NIX and
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace-win32.php for Win32

Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug
report and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for helping
us make PHP better.

Would be nice to have some more info.
Either of these would do: a short reproduce script, some steps required to reproduce the issue or a GDB backtrace.
Backtrace is probably the easiest to get.
