Bug Description
Binary package hint: php-mail
In Lucid, the version of php-mail installed is 1.1.14-2. When using php-mail to send mail froma PHP script, this version causes a segmentation fault when using PHP 5 or higher; Not sure exactly when it started breaking, but this version worked with PHP 4.x
Upstream, the PEAR channel for Mail is at version 1.2.0, which has the bug fixed. I would suggest making php-mail-1.1.14-2 and lower depend strictly on php4, and updating the package to php-mail-1.2.0 which depends strictly on php5.

We now have 1.2 or newer on all supported releases, so presumably this bug should no longer be an issue.
