Here a core, there a core, everywhere a core-core!
Over at CompSoc (where this blog is hosted) we’ve had some issues with PHP for some time now.
PHP executes code as it should, but as it exits it was dumping core on signal 11.
I’ve probed this once before and spotted that the backtrace pointed fingers at the session module.
I decided to have another look at this today and, armed with the knowledge that PHP was dumping core unloading session.so, I did some searching.
It turns out that simply moving extension=session.so to the top of extensions.ini provides a fix.
I have to say I’m most unimpressed with that.
