Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #6897 Updated: Oracle/PHP defunct Apache processes

The way I found to fix it on Redhat 7.0, was to install the latest RPM's from the redhat errata site. One of those was a fix for glibc. So, to answer your question, no, but that's only because I had applied the RPM's before building 4.0.4 :) I wasn't able to determine the RPM that fixed it, but I would be willing to bet it's the glibc fix. The definately broken config was Redhat 7.0 i386, PHP4.03pl1, Apache 1.3.1x, and Oracle 8.1.6 with the config line I specified in the bug report. I verified that on 3 systems.
