Hello. With an SVN version of Mediawiki,
Offline on my test wiki, calling
index.php?title=%E7%89%B9%E6%AE%8A:%E5%8F%83%E6%95%B8%E8%A8%AD%E7%BD%AE
(which is Special:Preferences), as a logged in user, causes
child pid 10600 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) as seen in
/var/log/apache2/error.log
This is not a helpful error message. You will need to run Apache under
gdb to get anything sensible out of this.
gdb /usr/bin/apache2
run -X
View the page in your browser, it should hit the segfault and gdb will
break out to another prompt. Then:
bt
That will give you a backtrace which will hopefully allow you to work
out what component to file a bug against.
So, just like
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9365 , this
is probably not a Mediawiki problem, but a php5.3 problem.
It is overwhelmingly unlikely that bug 9365 has anything to do with
this one. Segfaulted is the natural state of rest for a C program,
developers must constantly strive keep their programs in the
unsegfaulted state. You are seeing one of the many cases where they
failed to do that perfectly.
