Segmentation fault when assigning an object to another object-property ...

Hi there, I have written a PHP extention for the Verity Search Engine and my functions are working perfectly so far. Very large objects including search results are returned by one function. And as I said the module is working without errors as long as I don't assign the result object of one function to a property of another object. Shortened up this is what I wrote: k2_searchrecv ( ... ) returns an object that contains a two-dimensional array of search results. (Working perfectly) then I wrote the following wrapper-class in PHP: 1: class k2search { 2: 3: var $result; 4: 5: function searchrecv () 6: { 7: $this->result = k2_searchrecv( ... my parameters ... ) 8: } 9: } In line 7 I get a segmentation fault, which occurs during the assignment of the result-object to the L-value ($this->result) If I slightly change line 7 to: 7: $dummy = k2_searchrecv( ... my parameters ... ) no segmentation fault occurs ... What could be the cause for that annoying segmentation fault ???
