but only when the filename is not valid.

it makes little sense to pass a not valid filename, but it's not graceful
that Apache crashes over it.

( Took me 4 hours to catch the damn mistake :-) )

The line:

$shapefile = ms_newShapefileObj($file.".shp",-1);

If $file.".shp" does not exist, apache SIGSEGV's.

PHP 4.0.6, PHP/Mapscript 3.5 from a couple of weeks ago, apache 1.3.14
