compose.php3 & SIGSEGV in httpd

[Roger Massey]

Hi,

I have installed the following:

Mandrake 6.5
PHP 3.0.17-1.6.2 (using mod_php3 in Apache)
MYSQL Client api version 3.22.32
Apache 1.3.14
phplib 7.2-1

Imp works ok until I click "send message" or "save draft" of
compose.php3. The server is sent a:

POST compose.php3?uniq=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

An strace in the server (see below) shows the server  read
the POST,  access compose.php3 followed by prepend.php3 and
then a SIGSEGV. The processing of these files when the composition
window was created and sent worked ok.

I am a newbie, probably doing something stupid. I have read
the FAQ but if the answer is there I did not recognize it. I did
see in the archives that php3.0.17-1 is a problem with compose.php3.
Is php4 the answer?

Thanks,

Roger Massey
