pleasure hearing from you Rasmus. after observing lots of core dumps from apache, we got a different segfault and its back trace is given bellow
#0 0x00002aaab1c46688 in ZEND_FETCH_DIM_RW_SPEC_VAR_UNUSED_HANDLER ( execute_data=0x5555714ea6c8) at /usr/local/src/php/php-5.2.9/Zend/zend_vm_execute.h:13204 opline = (zend_op *) 0x5555714e8798 free_op1 = {var = 0x2aaaac1454fd} #1 0x00005555714e86b8 in ??
