Package: libapache2-mod-php4
Version: 4.4.4-8
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

I've apache 2.2 installed including with libapache2-mod-php4 (same
behaviour if I install fcgid module with php4-cgi). The problem seems to
be a double free bug. Here a backtrace:

root at xciton-pc3 # gdb /usr/sbin/apache2
(gdb) run -X
Starting program: /usr/sbin/apache2 -X
Failed to read a valid object file image from memory.
(no debugging symbols found)

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

If you need more information please ask. It's partially working here so
I can do things and this is on my development box.
