Segmentation faults are always due to one of:
* Software bugs
* Hardware failure

Since PHP programs cannot access memory directly, segmentation faults
due to software bugs must be problems with:
* The PHP interpreter itself
* some PHP extension or library call
* the web server
* the operating system

Common hardware failures that can cause segmentation faults include:
* Overheating
* Bad memory

Note that PHP recommends that Apache 2 be used in prefork mode rather
than threaded mode, as some PHP extensions may not be thread-safe.
