[php-maint] Bug#497453: libapache2-mod-php5: segfault when setting include_path to concatenation of non-existant ${include_path}

[Olivier Berger]

Package: libapache2-mod-php5
Version: 5.2.6-3
Severity: normal

If include_path wasn't set already, setting it to some concatenation of ${include_path} causes a segfault.

For instance, if /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini doesn't contain any include_path definition, like is by default :
 ; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
 ;include_path = ".:/usr/share/php"

then stting the following in for instance /etc/php5/conf.d/zend.ini :
 [Zend]
 include_path = ${include_path} ":/usr/share/php/libzend-framework-php"

leads to segmentation fault.

Uncommenting the default include_path in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini allows it to work, though.

Hope this helps,
