This is the affected following setup:
* apache2-mpm-worker
* libapache2-mod-php5
* mediawiki
(all from quantal in my case).

After doing "/etc/init.d/apache2 reload", POST requests to mediawiki (e.g. page preview or save) fail with a lost connection. The log files only show a line like this:
[Mon Jan 21 12:21:06 2013] [notice] child pid 16018 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Doing "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart" works around the problem.

This seems to be the same as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=691318 and possibly http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=694473 . I'm blaming PHP for now, in accordance with the upstream reporters. :-)

Creating a backtrace from the apache child processes has proved quite challenging, so I'm stopping here.

Thank you for your consideration,
  Philipp
