When run from the command line, php 4.04pl1 (or 4.03pl1) will crash if both oracle and oci extensions are loaded.
Funny enough this happens when invoking 'php -h' and not with 'php -i'...

Ini file:
----------------------------------------
[PHP]

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; About this file ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; This file controls many aspects of PHP's behavior.  In order for PHP to
; read it, it must be named 'php.ini'.  PHP looks for it in the current
; working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable
; PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order).
; Under Windows, the compile-time path is the Windows directory.  The
; path in which the php.ini file is looked for can be overriden using
; the -c argument in command line mode.
;
; The syntax of the file is extremely simple.  Whitespace and Lines
; beginning with a semicolon are silently ignored (as you probably guessed).
; Section headers (e.g. [Foo]) are also silently ignored, even though
; they might mean something in the future.
;
; Directives are specified using the following syntax:
; directive = value
; Directive names are *case sensitive* - foo=bar is different from FOO=bar.
;
; The value can be a string, a number, a PHP constant (e.g. E_ALL or M_PI), one
; of the INI constants (On, Off, True, False, Yes, No and None) or an expression
; (e.g. E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE), or a quoted string ("foo").
;
; Expressions in the INI file are limited to bitwise operators and parentheses:
; |				bitwise OR
; &				bitwise AND
; ~				bitwise NOT
; !				boolean NOT
;
; Boolean flags can be turned on using the values 1, On, True or Yes.
; They can be turned off using the values 0, Off, False or No.
;
; An empty string can be denoted by simply not writing anything after the equal
; sign, or by using the None keyword:
;
;   foo =			; sets foo to an empty string
;	foo = none		; sets foo to an empty string
;	foo = "none"	; sets foo to the string 'none'
;
; If you use constants in your value, and these constants belong to a dynamically
; loaded extension (either a PHP extension or a Zend extension), you may only
; use these constants *after* the line that loads the extension.
;
; All the values in the php.ini-dist file correspond to the builtin
; defaults (that is, if no php.ini is used, or if you delete these lines,
; the builtin defaults will be identical).


;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Language Options ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

engine			=	On	; Enable the PHP scripting language engine under Apache
short_open_tag	=	On	; allow the <? tag.  otherwise, only <?php and <script> tags are recognized.
asp_tags		=	Off ; allow ASP-style <% %> tags
precision		=	14	; number of significant digits displayed in floating point numbers
y2k_compliance	=	Off	; whether to be year 2000 compliant (will cause problems with non y2k compliant browsers)
output_buffering	= Off	; Output buffering allows you to send header lines (including cookies)
							; even after you send body content, in the price of slowing PHP's
							; output layer a bit.
							; You can enable output buffering by in runtime by calling the output
							; buffering functions, or enable output buffering for all files
							; by setting this directive to On.
output_handler		=		; You can redirect all of the output of your scripts to a function,
							; that can be responsible to process or log it.  For example,
							; if you set the output_handler to "ob_gzhandler", than output
							; will be transparently compressed for browsers that support gzip or
							; deflate encoding.  Setting an output handler automatically turns on
							; output buffering.
implicit_flush		= Off	; Implicit flush tells PHP to tell the output layer to flush itself
							; automatically after every output block.  This is equivalent to
							; calling the PHP function flush() after each and every call to print()
							; or echo() and each and every HTML block.
							; Turning this option on has serious performance implications, and
							; is generally recommended for debugging purposes only.
allow_call_time_pass_reference	= On	; whether to enable the ability to force arguments to be 
										; passed by reference at function-call time.  This method
										; is deprecated, and is likely to be unsupported in future
										; versions of PHP/Zend.  The encouraged method of specifying
										; which arguments should be passed by reference is in the
										; function declaration.  You're encouraged to try and
										; turn this option Off, and make sure your scripts work
										; properly with it, to ensure they will work with future
										; versions of the language (you will receive a warning
										; each time you use this feature, and the argument will
										; be passed by value instead of by reference).

; E_PARSE			- compile-time parse errors
; E_NOTICE			- run-time notices (these are warnings which often result from a bug in

; E_CORE_ERROR		- fatal errors that occur during PHP's initial startup

display_startup_errors = On		; Even when display_errors is on, errors that occur during

log_errors		=	On	; Log errors into a log file (server-specific log, stderr, or error_log (below))
