devel/pear doesn't install (segfault)

Hi all,

When I try to install pear from ports on my server, it spits out a whole 
bunch of messages like:

Preparing installer..................
PHP Deprecated:  Assigning the return value of new by reference is 
deprecated in /go-pear/PEAR/Config.php on line 650

PHP Warning:  date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone 
settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the 
date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those 
methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely 
misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'UTC' for 'UTC/0.0/no 
DST' instead in /go-pear/PEAR/Registry.php on line 1012

And then ends up like this:

     ! devel/pear    (install error)

First, beause the messages start with "PHP Deprecated", I thought it's 
about my php being outdated. Some extensions really were, so I upgraded 
them, but nothing changed.

I found, on FreeBSD Forums, a thread about "PHP Deprecated" messages, 
and there the issue was to set open_basedir properly in php.ini. But 
mine was not set (commented out) -- so, default value (/tmp) which, as 
they say, doesn't cause problems.

Then I tried to install pear on my FreeBSD 8.2 desktop, it again printed 
all the "PHP Deprecated" messages, but it installed and I even could do 
"pear upgrade PEAR".

Then I tried to install pear from 7-stable packages on my server, pear 
installed but when I tried to upgrade PEAR:

#pear upgrade PEAR
Error getting channel info from pear.php.net: No cached content 
available for "http://pear.php.net/rest/p/packages.xml"
Nothing to upgrade
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The server is an ezjail on 7.4-RELEASE.

Any ideas of how to get pear installed? Thanks.
