The backtrace ends with:

 [ .. ]
 #248 0x0000000f in ?? ()
 #249 <signal handler called>
 Cannot access memory at address 0x4c
 
On IRC, flo@ and dougb@ mentioned that this may have to do php5-xml
and/or libxml2, and how they play with php5; flo@ suggested I build php5
WITH_LINKTHR; that did it.  I'm glad the immediate problem is solved,
but I've never built php5 with LINKTHR, so it's something I will look
into further.
