Mapserver returns blank pages

[Stuart Eve]

After checking the apache error log we also get:

[Thu Jul 13 10:22:02 2006] [notice] child pid 9429 exit signal 
Segmentation fault (11)

We are using mapserver 4.8.3, php 4.3.10 and apache 2.0.53 running on a 
Suse 10 box.

The mapscript functions that seem to be in use when the crash is caused 
are: queryByAttributes(), getResult() and getShape()

should we list this as a bug on Bugzilla?

Thanks

Stuart
