[imp] Apache child processes segfaults

[Charlie Reitsma]

I haven't seen anyone mention this from the php.net web site:
You need to compile PHP with the --with-mcrypt[=DIR] parameter to enable this 
extension. DIR is the mcrypt install directory. Make sure you compile libmcrypt 
with the option --disable-posix-threads. 

Maybe that has something to do with the mcrypt related PHP crashes and Apache 
segfaults.
