mac os x segfault on session_start()

[plebby1]

does anybody have a fix to this problem? I am running a macbook pro / mac os x 10.5.8 with php 5.3.0 and apache2.

<?php
session_start();
?>

this causes: [notice] child pid xxxxx exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

... making php basically useless.

any ideas?

Well, a segmentation fault should not happen (obviously). There are (unavoidably) cases where it's possible for PHP code to cause one but merely starting a session certainly is not one of them.

It appears to have been logged, identified and fixed; however it isn't part of the current 5.3.0 distribution. It seems this wasn't picked up by pre-release testing 🙁

I don't know if you want to try with a dev build, so unless you're using 5.3.0-specific functionality, then using 5.2.11 instead until 5.3.1 is released may be the way to go.

I see. Thank you very much for the info... I suppose I will have to fall back to 5.2.x.
