Comment 8 for bug 323918

I am getting this same crash, also with php and Moodle. Above, you say that you need:

My answers are:

1. Started Ubuntu. Without taking any action beyond starting the computer (actually a virtual machine), shortly after logging in, the crash icon appears.

2. I expected to not see the crash icon, or to have php crash.

3. The crash icon appears and asks me to submit a bug.

The problem is related to Moodle's cron interface, and in my syslog, I see something like this every 5 minutes:

Mar 17 17:40:01 foo-desktop /USR/SBIN/CRON[29061]: (www-data) CMD ([ -f /usr/share/moodle/admin/cron.php ] && /usr/bin/php -f /usr/share/moodle/admin/cron.php > /dev/null)
Mar 17 17:40:04 foo-desktop kernel: [11650.655908] php[29062]: segfault at 7f5d8f31a0b0 ip 00007f5d8f31a0b0 sp 00007fff98add3a8 error 14 in librt-2.9.so[7f5d90429000+7000]

I have 46 segfaults with librt, as above, and a handful of segfaults in libgpg-error.so.0.3.0.

I haven't, AFAIK, configured Moodle to do anything special with cron.

I am reopening this, because this crash happens every five minutes, and I'd really like to have Moodle working on Ubuntu. Let me know what other information you need.
