We were having performance issues caused by Segmentation Faults on pages using Oracle. An example of the Seg faults appearing in Apache's error log is: *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x0969ef30 *** [Mon May 08 09:41:51 2006] [notice] child pid 3065 exit signal Aborted (6) OR [Mon May 08 09:48:58 2006] [notice] child pid 4747 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) Our issue was due to a problem with OCI8 module in PHP (latest version 4.4.2). Our solution involved recompiling PHP with the latest PECL OCI8 extension which can be downloaded from: http://pecl.php.net/package/oci8 All segmentation faults and performance issues stopped once PHP was recompiled with OCI8 1.2.1. If you are experience performance issues and/or seg faults I would recommend recompiling PHP with the latest stable OCI8 extension. --was-- We were having performance issues caused by Segmentation Faults on pages using Oracle.
