[Mediawiki-l] php --syntax-check terminating by signal 11

[jidanni at jidanni.org]

"No more svn update before checking first there's no syntax errors", I
said to myself. But when I do
$ find * \( -name \*.php -o -name \*.inc \)|xargs -n 1 php --syntax-check
It never makes it through the whole mediawiki tree, always terminating
at a _different file_ with "xargs: php: terminated by signal 11".
find -exec, find|while read i...; do php ... $i, all same problem.

Do I need to up the memory limit just to check the syntax of one file?

When I do the same on the mainframe, all works fine.
