Solved FreeBSD 15 and PHP 8.3 CLI generates "exited on signal 11 (core dumped)"

[Alain De Vos]

That strikes me as a bad idea. You are running non-default SSL and you are bound to travel paths that the maintainers did not.

I follow your advice. I can put it to base tomorrow. Good idea you think ?. Is base not in reality the same version.

How's that possible diizzy ? I have: OpenSSL 3.5.4 30 Sep 2025 (Library: OpenSSL 3.5.4 30 Sep 2025) in 15.0-RELEASE-p5

I still doesn't understand if this is related to FreeBSD and/or PHP. But I did a PR over at Github:

PHP 8.3.30 - CLI Segmentation Fault Signal 11 when script finishes (core dumped) · Issue #21600 · php/php-src

Reading diagonal ?
Specific version of php?
You can recompile everything to specific versions which works fine.

Looks like there's a proposed patch for PHP already (from reading your PR), and it was the XLST code:

Remove xsltCleanupGlobals call in ext/xsl MSHUTDOWN.

The call to xsltCleanupGlobals() during module shutdown can cause
a segfault in xmlHashFree() when freeing libxslt internal hash
tables. This is the same class of shutdown cleanup issue that led
to xmlCleanupParser() being removed from ext/libxml. The process
is about to exit and the OS will reclaim all memory, making the
explicit cleanup both unnecessary and harmful.

richardtoohey2 I just saw that too
Trying to patch that extension as we speak, but can't get it to work

Just a messenger but does this patch fix the issue?

I was interested in seeing how this played out (from bug report to release) - the patch just missed PHP 8.4.20, but looks like it is landing in 8.4.21:

php.internals: PHP 8.4.21RC1 Ready for testing

news-web.php.net

I downloaded the RC1 files and in the NEWS file:

- XSL:
  . Fixed bug GH-21600 (Segfault on module shutdown). (David Carlier)

8.4.21 is due 7th May, but usually takes a little time to reach FreeBSD ports/packages.
