Cannot reproduce. Is this still an issue for you?

dba_fetch() and dba_exists() are the same function under the hood, with 
different return values.  I noticed my example said dba_exists() while the 
subject said dba_fetch()... 

Both functions crash/segfault at the same code:
dba_fetch(): line 172: if (!dba->dbp->get(dba->dbp, NULL, &gkey, &gval, 0)) {
dba_exists():line 211: if (!dba->dbp->get(dba->dbp, NULL, &gkey, &gval, 0)) {

I am not sure how to debug this any further. would this indicate a problem in 
the db4 library or php?  I am (probably wrongfully) assuming it has something to 
do with the way the gkey and gval are passed by reference.

I am not sure what frame 0 is in the stack trace - gdb was not very useful here 
-- most likely its the actual dba->dbp "get"...

One additional note:
While we do use the rpm provided by ZeroC after further research it seems to 
simply be an UNMODIFIED version of the db-4.8.30.NC tarball provided by Oracle. 
Potentially the BDB API changed between 4.3 and 4.8 resulting in the segfult 
when get() is called?

Description:
------------
When using dba_fetch with a db4 database a segfault is generated and php 
crashes.

Important Notes:
We use db48 rpm from ZeroC for IcePHP Support. At the time of testing we did not 
have the IcePHP.so loaded to ensure that it was not a conflict with that module.

dba.so is linked against this db4 rpm:
http://www.zeroc.com/download/Ice/3.4/rhel5/x86_64/db48-devel-4.8.30-
1ice.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
[root@web2 ~]# ldd /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-
20090626/dba.so 
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff62deb000)
        libdb-4.8.so => /usr/lib64/libdb-4.8.so (0x00002b024cad9000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00002b024ce43000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00002b024d19b000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002b024c6a3000)



Test script:
---------------
<?php
 $dbh = dba_open("/root/test.db","c","db4");
 $str = sha1("this is a test");
 $ret = dba_exists($str,$dbh);
 # <segfault>
?>


Expected result:
----------------
PHP to return the fetched dba result

Actual result:
--------------
Segfault
