  I don't really know. I can give more details on how I got a stack
trace from gdb on a production server, using Apache2 + mod_fcgid and
php5-cgi (with no disturbance):

  # aptitude install php5-dbg

  I use the 'FCGIWrapper /usr/local/bin/php5-fcgi .php' directivein my
Apache conf and this wrapper looks like:

  #!/bin/sh
  export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=0
  export PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=10000
  gdb -x /tmp/run /usr/bin/php5-cgi 2>&1 | logger -t php5-cgi
-puser.info

  Where /tmp/run is a dumb script to make gdb automatically run,
backtrace, then quit:

  # cat /tmp/run 
  run
  bt
  quit

  Output appears in /var/log/user.log.
