I downgraded to version 4.3.10 with a downloaded tgz package, and that
got me back up and running. I noticed an error talking about rc_subr
and expat not being current enough, so I upgraded both of those and
recompiled/reinstalled php4-4.3.11, but still no joy. Went back to
4.3.10 again and everything is working normally.

Is it possible there's a conflict in the kernel if I'm getting core dumps? 

Take care,
Mike
