Description:
------------
I made a simple PHP script that calls another using the "virtual" function. If the second script fails to execute (my test script contains an invalid function call) and I then call "getallheaders()", the Apache worker will segfault:

AH00051: child pid 6094 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Test script:
---------------
first.php:
<html>
 <body>
 <?php virtual("/second.php"); ?><br>
 <?php print_r(getallheaders()); ?>
 </body>
</html>

second.php:
<?php foohaaa(); ?>

Expected result:
----------------
Expecting to see something like this on the page (works when I change "foohaa();" to something valid in second.php):

Array ( [Host] => 127.0.0.1:9110 [User-Agent] => Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0 [Accept] => text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 [Accept-Language] => en-US,en;q=0.5 [Accept-Encoding] => gzip, deflate [Connection] => keep-alive [Cache-Control] => max-age=0 )

Does that segfault still happen to you with any of the actively
supported PHP versions[1]?

Sorry, I haven't had anything to do with PHP ever since. Back then I was investigating a crash alert from another Apache module and ended up finding this bug in the process. I've also moved away from working with Apache in general, so I won't be able to help you here. If you can't reproduce the problem with the included script, I guess it's okay to close this bug.

Thanks for the swift replay.  I'm closing then.
