We can reproduce 'segmentation fault' error in apache error logs whenever a node uses filestore. Why filestore is causing the problem we don't know. If we delete from the node table all records of field type=filestore the segmentation faults stop and the site is again accessible.
We suspect the problem is php related to reading a file....

Does anyone have a solution, or work-a-round?

Hello,

This sounds like a memory issue, filestore is a very memory hungry module, and by the sounds of it your process memory settings for php and the amount of memory that the apache process can use are not right, you could try reducing your process memory setting is php, this may help you.

I'm closing this issue because it's over a year old.
It must have been fixed or superceded by now!
