This bug affects the PHP component called APC, on 64-bit architectures only. I
haven't been able to reproduce it outside of APC, but it looks very much like a
glibc problem. It involves dynamic library dependencies that have DF_1_NODELETE
set in their .dynamic section.
Here's the APC bug report:
http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=10253
I reported it to APC over a year ago. We saw it on redhat, and a credible
comment says that it also affects Debian etch.
The sequence of events is as follows:
1. Apache dlopens PHP and calls an init function
2. PHP dlopens APC
3. APC depends on librt, so the dynamic linker automatically opens librt
4. Apache finishes configuring and then calls dlclose on PHP. This appears to
free the link map for librt. But because librt has DF_1_NODELETE, it's not
actually deleted, so the link map becomes a dangling pointer.
5. Apache forks lots of times, and each child process dlopens PHP again. Each
child process calls PHP's init function, and so APC is opened again.
6. Exit apache normally
7. During shutdown, glibc attempts to resolve __cxa_finalize from librt. Due to
the corruption of the link map in step 4, it segfaults.
I tried to reproduce this sequence using a simple test app, but it didn't work.
So, to reproduce:
* Use x86_64
* Compile and install Apache 1.3.x, PHP and APC as per standard install instructions
* Confirm that PHP and APC are enabled, say with strace -e trace=open httpd -X
* Run Apache under gdb
* Send SIGTERM, or arrange to have it exit with an error when it tries to bind
port 80
* It should segfault in do_lookup_x()

If there are no bugs in the program itself you have to be able to provide a
reproducer which does not require any outside code. I tried what you described
and cannot find any problem.

I've reproduced this via another that depend on librt and verified the problem
has been fixed with the release of glibc 2.5. More specifically it was fixed in
elf/dl-close.c CVS r1.117, git 86d507fee83714136ba6aed311e2989f9cc7c19c.
I backported and tested this in 2.4 and confirmed the fix running Apache/PHP/
APC.
