I’m getting an obnoxious segfault in PHP 5.3.6 (compiled from source, Slackware 13.1 x86, VPS in Linode). It is happening in both apache and nginx (fpm). Finally managed to get a core dump:

30 0x0838ebad in php_request_shutdown ()
31 0x084a3f26 in main ()

I’m using the memcache, apc, and mongo extensions (compiled from source). I tried disabling apc, but no luck. My PHP configure:

./configure \
    --prefix=/usr/local/php \
    --enable-fpm \
    --enable-inline-optimization \
    --disable-magic-quotes \
    --enable-mbstring \
    --enable-mbregex \
    --enable-safe-mode \
    --enable-wddx=shared \
    --enable-xml \
    --with-gd \
    --enable-gd-native-ttf \
    --with-png-dir=/usr \
    --with-jpeg-dir=/usr \
    --with-freetype-dir=/usr \
    --with-gettext \
    --with-curl \
    --with-mysql=/usr \
    --with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config \
    --with-regex=system \
    --with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib \
    --with-openssl \
    --with-snmp \
    --enable-ucd-snmp-hack

This happens only on one certain page of an application (code is too big to share). Looks like it’s failing on shutdown. I saw this bug report on the PHP tracker from about 6 or 7 years ago, but haven’t heard of anyone seeing it since.

What’s weird is that everything was working fine a few days ago until I deployed some changes to the app. It was nothing monolithic, and I wish I could pinpoint the exact commit, but there were about 5 commits between when it worked and the next time I realized it wasn’t working.

Can anyone make heads or tails of this, or should I submit a bug report and hope for the best?

    Figured it out (sort of). Got the latest dev build (5.3-201105190430) from http://snaps.php.net/ and compiled & installed it. That fixed the problem (so apparently they know about it and have it queued for inclusion).

    Thanks!
