PHP 4.0 Bug #7352: Apache crashes hard when loading Oracle-enabled libphp4.so

From: jl@carnegietech.org Operating system: Linux (RH 6.X) PHP version: 4.0.3pl1 PHP Bug Type: Apache related Bug description: Apache crashes hard when loading Oracle-enabled libphp4.so Loading --with-oracle libphp4.so into Apache, httpd -X dumps core without message. httpd is silent but httpd never starts. Same setup --wthout-oracle works fine. Same occurs if specifying --with-oci8 instead of --with-oracle. Confirmed this in RH 6.1, 6.2, both with RH Apache RPM (1.3.9 and 1.3.12). Tried on kernel 2.2.12, 2.2.14 and 2.2.16. Tried with and without LDAP (having seen the open bugs at www.php.net). Tried with a minimal configuration as well as with several different feature sets. Under not one of these configurations did the problem disappear. Apache dies summarily, without leaving a core file behind, printing a message or logging it to its log files. My current config line is: ./configure --with-apxs --enable-force-cgi-direct --enable-discard-path --enable-calendar --with-gdbm --enable-dbase --without-mysql --with-readline --enable-trans-sid --with-openssl --enable-sockets --enable-memory-limit --with-gnu-ld --enable-sigchild --with-oracle --without-ldap but I have tried many different configurations and, every time, apache crashes if --with-oracle and works without it.
