I installed Drupal today on my PPC Linux box (YDL 3.0 with patches) and in general it's working well. However, there's one major exception. When I am logged in as the administrator, viewing a static node, and click on that node's 'administer' link...
http://www.mysite.blah/?q=admin/node/edit/4
...I get only a small chunk of code output -- just enough to draw the first three menu links on the top of the page -- and then Apache segfaults leaving this in error_log:
[Sat Sep 27 15:29:45 2003] [notice] child pid 31753 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
(This is a recent Apache build (2.0.40) and recent PHP (4.2.2) installed from the Terrasoft RPMs. PHP should have quite enough breathing room - 128M set in php.ini.)
The curious thing is that I can manually enter a non-admin edit URI:
http://www.mysite.blah/?q=node/edit/4
...and edit the selfsame node with no problems, but using the installed theme (goofy) instead of the admin theme. And I can likewise edit a non-static node (like node 3, which is a book page):
http://www.mysite.blah/?q=admin/node/edit/3
...with no problems using the admin interface. I tried it with mod_rewrite and clean URIs and without, made no difference. What on EARTH is going on here? Anybody seen this before? Thanks for any tips, and if we can confirm that this is not operator error, I'll post it in the bug tracker ASAP.
