It may or may not be related, but this december 2003 thread[1] hit me 
yesterday. I traced it to openldap21-client in combination with php4 and 
apache. The backtrace shows the exact same thing as posted there.

I've recompiled openldap to no avail. I've now got a fully working apache/php4 
with *many* modules, but without ldap.
