CGI mode core dumps

Since I compiled and built php 4.0.1pl2 with cc, I needed to use dbx to produce a stack back trace. Here it is: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (/opt/SUNWspro/bin/dbx) where [1] 0x0(0x2396e4, 0x3a5, 0x2aec50, 0x0, 0xef4a3180, 0xef43ea80), at 0xffffffff =>[2] php_body_write(str = 0x2396e4 "<b>Security Alert!</b> PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly.\n\n<P>This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This\nmeans that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is\nset. This variable is set, for example, by Apache's Action directive redirect.\n<P>You may disable this restriction by recompiling the PHP binary with the\n--disable-force-cgi-redirect switch. If you do this and you have your PHP CGI\nbinary accessible somewhere in your web tree, people will be " ..., str_length = 933U), line 84 in "output.c" [3] main(argc = 2, argv = 0xeffffa34), line 428 in "cgi_main.c" (/opt/SUNWspro/bin/dbx) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can see that I need to rebuild php with "--disable-force-cgi-redirect", but it should produce output, not core dump. By the way, this only happens when run as a CGI script under Apache.
