Description:
------------
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720433

Package: libapache2-mod-php5
Version: 5.5.2+dfsg-1
Severity: important

After upgrading php and apache this afternoon, I receive many segfaults
from my local MediaWiki installation. Downgrading libapache2-mod-php5
and the various php5-* packages to 5.5.1+dfsg-2 fixes the problem.

For example, loading the following URL from my mediawiki installation reliably 
causes a segfault:
http://localhost/~cananian/mediawiki/load.php?
debug=false&lang=en&modules=ext.visualEditor.core%2Cexperimental%2Cicons-
vector%2CspecialMessages%7Cext.visualEditor.viewPageTarget.icons-
vector%7Cjquery.uls%7Cjquery.uls.compact%2Cdata%2Cgrid%7Crangy&skin=vector&versi
on=20130822T035438Z&*


Expected result:
----------------
The request should succeed.

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

(gdb) c
Continuing.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Just to be clear: I do not intend to 
construct the requested test case. I 
spent my quota of time filing the bug 
report, in Debian and here.  This is a 
serious regression, hopefully the next 
person who tries to use mediawiki on 
5.5.2 will be able to contribute to 
minimization.  As for me, I just 
downgraded to 5.5.1 and got back to work.

I have the same issue with PHP 5.5.2/5.5.3 and MediaWiki 1.21.1

I'm using Arch Linux. Any MediaWiki search request would cause a segfault in php-
fpm when opcache is enabled. Sorry I have no time to figure out which part of 
MediaWiki caused this crash.

But when I downgraded the opcache.so to the old version (7.0.2), and still using 
PHP 5.5.3, this problem could be solved. I believe this is caused by some recent 
changes of opcache.

As for me, I'm now using PHP5.5.3 with this older version of opcache.so
 [2013-08-28 21:18 UTC] ole dot hattebol at swipnet dot se
I am trying to configure MediaWiki 1.21.1 and have PHP-5.5.2. Operating system is Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials. The web server is IIS 7.5. I get error 500 when I click "set up the wiki" on the configuration start page. I have tried the various recommended permission settings to no help.
 [2013-08-29 05:51 UTC] roctom at gmail dot com
I have a similar issue with PHP 5.5.2/3 but running piwik with the opcache of 
version 5.5.2/3. If I run PHP 5.5.3 with the compiled opcache.so of 5.5.1 there is 
no issue.

Thus it points to a regression of the opcache code between 5.5.1 and 5.5.2.
