All right. The problem is that we are getting segfaults with the CLI 
version too. We are running some background PHP programs and they also 
throw segfault.

Here is the interesting part. I wrote a test script that tries to 
connect to the postgresql server.

- if the hostname is wrong for the connection, there is no segfault
- if the hostname is right but the password is wrong (e.g. it cannot 
connect to the server) then there IS segfault.

There are no options to configure in php5-pgsql.

I tried to change the order or module in extensions.ini, no success so far.

Best,
