Does this also happen without APC? Any chance to get som ereproduce code? hard to identify
otherwise.

Disabling APC does not solve the Problem. In both php 5.3. and 5.4 we still receive core dumps like
this:

zend_hash_find is quite a short function, so it should not be so difficult to find the reason for
this annoying instability...

Compiled the latest APC version (3.1.13), but same behaviour:
- core dumps with
fe256d98 zend_vm_stack_alloc (1040, ffbff478, fe222de8, 0, 0, 0) + 110
- Service brought to maintenance modus every now and than.

As seems to be usual with cases involving APC, try to reproduce it _without_ APC.
You might also care to try the latest APC, though most of its fixes are probably 
for PHP 5.4.  

Thanks for the report but a testcase is really needed.

Description:
------------
We use PHP 5.3.x with Apache HTTPD 2.4.3 on Oracle CMT Sparc systems for our elearning system
(Moodle 2.3). Quite often, some httpd processes fails throwing core dumps causing sometimes the
Solaris Service Manager to bring the HTTPD into maintenance mode. Sometimes only one core dump is
written, sometimes up to 6-7 dumps simultanously. As to show how severe the problem is - in 12 hours
we get app. 50 core dumps occuping app. 20 GB and 2-3 service "transitioned to
maintenance" messages.

Both PHP and HTTPD were compiled using Solaris Studio 12.3. APC (3.1.9) is enabled. Configure line:

Due to the nature of the application, the memory limits have been increased:
 memory_limit = 1000M

Things I have tried:
PHP 5.3.17 - same behaviour
memory_limit decreased to 256MB - same behaviour
