"double free or corruption" error using PHP on Fedora Core 3

Hi,


Recently I migrated the front-end of our bulletin board (running
phpBB, patched against the recently highlight vulnerability) to a pair
of servers running Fedora Core 3. I compiled Apache 1.3.33 and PHP
4.3.10 from source.


This morning, the servers slowed down to the point that they were
almost completely unresponsive. After a while I managed to SSH into
the machines and saw that the httpd processes had grown to 35MB each
and were using up all the swap and RAM on the machines (they have 1GB
RAM, 1GB swap). I then set MaxClients to 30 and restarted Apache, but
the slowdown happened again:

I then checked the error log and found this:

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption: 0x097ec7e8 ***
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption: 0x097ec7e8 ***
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption: 0x097e6d58 ***

and the same on the other server:

This bulletin board application has been running fine for a month or
so on a pair of Fedora Core 1 servers running PHP 4.3.9 (which I've
recently upgraded to 4.3.10), and they didn't have the above problem.


Any advice would be much appreciated.
