segmentation fault View as Markdown

Hi,

I would like to ask if the following backtrace contains enough
information to identify the bug ? Perhaps someone may identify from the
backtrace a PHP function/code that causes the segfault and I am able to
provide more info in a bug report ?

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

PHP application runs without segfault on PHP 5.2.14 (Ubuntu 8.4
repository install), but the same application produces above segfault on
5.3.2, 5.3.3 and 5.3.5 releases. The following configuration was used to
compile PHP:

./configure
--with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2
--enable-debug
--enable-mbstring
--with-curl
--with-mysql
--with-mysqli
--with-pdo-mysql
--with-openssl
--enable-soap
--with-mcrypt
--with-bz2
--enable-calendar
--enable-exif
--with-gd
--with-gettext
--with-zlib
--enable-shmop
--disable-phar
--enable-zip

The application is running on Ubuntu 8.04 (64 bits) server as an Apache
module. Apache/2.2.8 is running in prefork mode.
