PHP Command Line Scripts 'Aborting' at end ...

[Marc G. Fournier]

Note that the following is based on php installed via the FreeBSD ports 
system ...


I have a really simple PHP script that, when you run it, generates an 
Abort at the end of it:

ams# /tmp/test.php
testAbort (core dumped)

ams# cat /tmp/test.php
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php
echo "test";
?>

Even if I change the script slightly, so that last line isn't being run 
via php, it does the same:

ams# cat /tmp/test.php
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php
echo "test";
?>

test

ams# /tmp/test.php
test
test
Abort (core dumped)


I'm getting a core file, but if I try:

gdb /usr/local/bin/php php.core ... its definitely not looking good:

mod_php4 appears to work fine, just the command line version seems to be 
off ... and its running, producing expected output, its just that last 
'Abort' that tends to screw things up a bit ...

Not sure how to debug ... help?

Thanks ...
