[Bug 1236733] [NEW] php 5.5.3 segfault

[Paul Gauret]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

I'm getting a systematic php segmentation fault when accessing my
Zenphoto http://www.zenphoto.org/ album (fresh install).

The following php packages are installed on the system (Saucy).

ii  libapache2-mod-php5                 5.5.3+dfsg-1ubuntu1              amd64        server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (Apache 2 module)
ii  php5                                5.5.3+dfsg-1ubuntu1              all          server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage)
ii  php5-common                         5.5.3+dfsg-1ubuntu1              amd64        Common files for packages built from the php5 source
ii  php5-gd                             5.5.3+dfsg-1ubuntu1              amd64        GD module for php5
ii  php5-mysql                          5.5.3+dfsg-1ubuntu1              amd64        MySQL module for php5

The same code/config combo runs fine with php 5.3.10 on another server.
It also runs fine with PHP 5.5.4 from ppa:chris-lea/php5.5

In apache's log I only get:

[Tue Oct 08 09:48:36.746162 2013] [core:notice] [pid 8891] AH00052:
child pid 8896 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

After enabling core dumps, I could get a backtrace:

I also get the same segfault in running php in CGI mode.
