Apache 2.2 and php 5.4.5 failing on freebsd 8.3

Good thought, I just did that.  Results:

php5.3: works fine as far as I can tell

php5.4: fails in random ways

This suggests there is a bug in 5.4 which only is apparent on FreeBSD 8.x. 
I note that the packages for 8.x have gone away on the distribution 
server, so I expect they're not regression testing 8.x any more
