Now i get a segv...... Last night, no. Ideas? Recompile PHP with debug support. No, seriously. I have had the same problem for years with different versions of PHP, and hours of googling has led me to that answer. Seems that nobody can explain exactly why enabling debug support fixes the problem, but it does. Some boring history: I ran into this problem trying to get Horde/IMP working properly way back i= n 2003. IMP needs some PEAR modules to work, and they refused to install because PEAR needs PHP to work, and got cought on something and segfaulted trying to install the PEAR modules. Reworking the loading order of the PHP extensions seemed to work for some time, but then my changes got lost in one of many PHP upgrades and things got stuffed again. For a while I "solve= d" the problem by uninstalling Horde/IMP, but lately (since 2007-ish) I've hit= this snag every now and then. At some point I just gave up, and then I stumbled across the "enable debug in php and php-extensions" trick, and it's been painless ever since. Speed-wise, I can't tell the difference. I haven't run any real tests becau= se my servers aren't very busy and thus I haven't seen the point, but I'll grant = that on busy servers it may very well affect performance. YMMV. Good luck! - Christer
