Subject: serialize segfault
From: blankey-phpdev@squiz.net (Chris)

Hi all,

I'm trying to track down a segfault to do with serializing an object.

I can't reproduce it with a small script so I'm not sure where to go from 
here. Any suggestions, tips, helpful hints greatly appreciated.

It's part of a largish CMS which uses lots of circular references so 
pasting an example isn't easy.

Here's a backtrace:

(gdb) bt

Can anyone give me a hand with tracking down the problem?

Thanks!
Chris.
