assistance debuging PHP required.

I've been building for some time without incident however, when I include a module apache crashes. I have gdb and while I can start apache with it, when it does crash I'm lost because I don't know what to do. I've build the offending lilbrary with "-ggdb" and enabled debug in PHP as directed in the debug erraat at php.net. My OS is Darwin/Mac OSX 10.4.2. I've spoken to the person who wrote the library that is causing the problem but he claims that it's not his software that is at fault and frankly that is moot. It could be the extension code but the person who wrote it said he couldn't help because he no longer supports it. I know a little about programming and fixed a couple of minor issues with initialization of the library (what was noticeable that I could figure out). Can someone help me resolve this issue please. I can follow your specific instructions or allow you full access to the server in question. -- Dale
