Hi,
from some days I am having this issue on a Drupal installation and I can't figure out the cause.
On some paths I am getting a white screen of death. And specifically on:

/admin/
/admin/logs/status

and when trying to save a node with some kind of attached file.

I looked inside php error log and I found nothing. Instead I found that whenever I try to request any of the previous page I got an entry into the apache error log, like

[notice] child pid 1245 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

I am running D5.21 with all modules updated to the latest version, on

  • Apache/2.2.10 (Linux/SUSE)
  • PHP 5.2.11
  • Database MySQL 5.0.67

Memory fo PHP is set to 128MB, but I do not think it's a memory issue.

Does anybody have any clue to help me to track down this issue? I'm really stuck ¬_¬

Thanks in advance,
GP

Same problem when accessing admin/people, apache says:

After some xdebug I found the segmentation fault was coming from user.module (user_filters).

I did the following and it worked:

$b = t('@module module', array('@module' => $module));
$options[$b][$permission] = t($permission);
//$options[t('@module module', array('@module' => $module))][$permission] = t($permission);

So perhaps we are hitting a PHP bug instead of a Drupal one. Does this work for anyone else?

Where in user.module did you paste that code?

seems to be a PHP bug, maybe this can help trace this:
