PEAR Segfault with PHP 5.0.3

I've got an interesting situation. I've just created a web farm of Gentoo 2004.3 servers, each running apache 1.3.32 and PHP 5.0.3; instead of using portage to compile and install apache and PHP, we did so manually. PEAR::DB runs fine.... but... I started noticing that one of my scripts, which runs fine on my development platform (basically identical) wasn't working on the cluster. So I tried it on the commandline on one node. And I got a segmentation fault. I was preliminarily able to isolate the segmentation fault to DB. At the time, I was running 1.7.1. I downgraded to 1.6.8, which we have running on a production server with PHP 5.0.2 and Apache 1.3.32 -- but still received a segfault. I tested some more, and finally isolated the issue to PEAR.php itself. I did this by creating a dummy PEAR and PEAR_Error class to which DB.php would link -- at that point, I received no more errors from DB, but PEAR consistently segfaulted. I've tried this with PEAR 1.3.5 and 1.4.0a2 -- both exhibit the issue. To reproduce, simply run 'php -a PEAR.php' on a PHP 5.0.3 install. I configured PHP as follows: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5 --with-apxs=/www/bin/apxs \ --enable-magic-quotes --with-openssl --enable-dba --enable-ftp --with-gd \ --with-gettext --with-mysql --enable-soap --enable-sockets --with-pear \ --with-tidy --with-zlib I have confirmed the same behaviour in my development environment (though for some reason the same script runs fine there). PHP is compiled there with the following: ./configure --enable-cli --enable-embed --with-curl --with-fam --enable-ftp --with-gettext --enable-mbstring --with-mcrypt \ --disable-memory-limit --with-mime-magic=/usr/share/misc/file/magic.mime \ --with-ncurses --with-openssl --with-openssl-dir=/usr --enable-pcntl \ --with-pspell --enable-soap --enable-sockets --with-tidy --with-zlib \ --with-db4 --with-gdbm --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-freetype-dir=/usr \ --with-t1lib=/usr --with-ttf=/usr --enable-gd-jis-conf \ --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-png-dir=/usr --with-tiff-dir=/usr \ --with-gd --with-imap --with-imap-ssl --with-mysql \ --enable-sqlite-utf8 --enable-dba --with-readline I have two production servers, one on PHP 5.0.1 with PEAR 1.3.1 and the other on PHP 5.0.2 with PEAR 1.3.4. The segmentation fault is not present on either server. I will open a bug report if need be, but I want to first see if anybody has experienced similar issues with PEAR using PHP 5.0.3. If so, I may simply downgrade my PHP version -- unless a patch can fix the issue. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | WEBSITES: Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association | http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org mailto:matthew@garden.org | http://vermontbotanical.org
