A gdb backtrace is worth of thousand words.

For what it's worth, I don't believe the problem (at least
as I've reported) is so much related to the previous
poster's freebsd bug report link. It may very well be
specific to FreeBSD and even this version of the OS, but it
also seems to be rather isolated to PHP5. I've tested with
other Apache modules and none of them have trouble sending
mail like PHP seems to be having, and sending mail directly
works like a charm.
What's perhaps useful to note, and that I perhaps didn't
emphasize enough, is that with version 5.1.2 it would just
hang the httpd process and the web page request would simply
never terminate. Now with whatever change was made in mail
() since 5.2.1, it crashes the httpd. It's curious that
httpd is dying via signal 6 (SIGABRT, abort()) and not a
usual segv or bus error, etc.

Doesn't look like PHP problem to me, more like FreeBSD bug.

To hopefully revive this issue, I'm using the latest release
5.2.1 version of php (from FreeBSD ports), with the same setup
and constraints as mentioned before in this report and still
see the same crashes (httpd exits on signal 6) during a mail()
call from mod_php5.

I am seeing the same behavor in 4.4.3. I wrote a script to replace
sendmail and confirmed that the data is being written to the pipe, but
that the pipe is not being closed. I then stuck debuging statements in
mail.c and found the it hangs on pclose(). Again, this is only in
apache, not from the command line.
