Assuming Linux (YMMV)

Make sure that your PHP library path is in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/php/extenions:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

$ gdb php
<startup text, loading symbols etc.>
{gdb} run yourfile.php
<error saying SIGSEGV occurred>
(gdb) bt
<backtrace of error>  <-- Cut and paste this

If this doesn't work, contact Daniel and I offline and we'll work with 
you.  It looks to me like you're using a PHP that uses their internal 
regex methods.  This can cause a great deal of pain up until very 
recently.  However, a recent CVS build may solve this for you.  Do you 
build from source?
