Hi,

I know about zero of php and the way it uses ibase drivers.

But I have one experience with segmentation-fault.
It happened when I used FileZilla to copy some files from
one machine to another.
Filezilla treated some files as ASCII and hence every byte in the file
had its MSB reset to zero.

And everytime I started to use the file (an linux elf-executable) it
shouted at me: segmentation fault!

It was only after comparing files from one computer (where everything
worked fine) with this computer that I saw two supposed to be identical
files where not identical. A reupload with Filezilla, forced to binary
modus, solved the problem.

php uses the ibase module when you access a FB service, so if the former
is the case, maybe check your ibase modules?

Oh well, just to rule out a possible problem...
