I am experiencing the same error and I have been through numerous "fixes".
I installed a CVS of PHP 5.2, but that didn't resolve anything. I installed
Apache 2.2.3, that didn't resolve anything. I've played with settings, gone
through several mailing lists and forums and still the error persists.
I have it so it is not nearly so pervasive, but at times it will utterly
crash my Apache server, requiring a full restart of the computer.
Any input on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I have not upgraded to MW 1.7.1 yet, I'm still at 1.6.7. That will be my
next task.
PSS: There is a lot of talk about this on the PHP bug reporting site, but
not much in terms of resolutions it seems.
