PHP 4.0 Bug #10117: mysql_pconnect() can cause segmentation fault

From: jules@acris.co.uk Operating system: Linux 2.2.14 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: MySQL related Bug description: mysql_pconnect() can cause segmentation fault In the process of setting up a new site on my server, I set up a MySQL database for it and a new MySQL user, but neglected to perform a 'mysqladmin reload' to process the new user's password. The call to mysql_pconnect() failed and the page in question did not work, but subsequent calls to the same page produced a segmentation fault in the httpd error log. The problem did not clear up until I killed the server and restarted it, but now I cannot reproduce it.
