When trying to perform any command via the pear commandline programm, php segfaults without any additional information. My php-version is php-4.3.4-r4. I tried re'emerging php with and without "-fstack-protector" in my CFLAGS, both with the same result. I tried revdep-rebuild, but it shows no broken binaries.

Is this still a problem? If it is, please add '-g' to your CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf, and then re-install php-4.3.4-r4. Then, do 'ulimit -c unlimited' to enable core dumps, and re-produce the problem. You should get a core file, called core.<pid>, appear in the directory where you run pear from. Please post the output from 'gdb /usr/bin/php <core file>' into this bug. I'll close this bug shortly if there's no update - it's quite an old bug now. Best regards, Stu
Oddly enough, I was able to resolve this problem by re-emerging bind. Sorry, simply forgot to post an info here... :S
