"Are you sure you need freetype support?"

I meant: do you really need freetype 1.x support?

About your patch, as I said the TS fix will not be back ported to 4.x

There is many other issues to be fixed in php4 to get somehow thread
safe. I'll ask our release master about this patch but you should really
think about upgrading to php5. Using php4 with apache2 (in threaded
mode) is really not a good idea.

"The PHP development team hereby announces that support for PHP 4 
will continue until the end of this year only." 

So you need to supported PHP 4 users community until the end of this 
year right ?

I have fixed this bug by backporting mutex changes in gd from 5.2.3 
to 4.4.7. No more Apache2 locks.

Please include my patch in snap 4.4-dev so it can be included the 
next 4.4.8 and change the ticket status to Fixed...

Reproduce code:
---------------

    $crash = 1;
    $text = 'Bug';
    $font = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/fonts' .'/'. 'arial.ttf';

    if ($crash == 1) {
        $image = imagecreate(64, 32);
    } else {
        $image = imagecreatetruecolor(64, 32);
    }

    $bg = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);
    $fg = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);

    /* LOCK APACHE2 PROCESS AFTER THIS POINT IF crash == 1
     * => if imagecreate() used but not if imagecreatetruecolor()
     */
    imagettftext($image, 20, 0, 8, 24, $fg, $font, $text);

    header('Content-type: image/png');
    imagepng($image);

    imagedestroy($image);

Workarounds :
"- Use imagecreatetruecolor() instead of imagecreate()"

The patch is your next comment is not correct. 

"- Don't use bundled gdlib compile PHP with external gdlib"

Either you use the bundled library or the external version.

"- Upgrade 5.2.3 who don't have this issue"

That's definitively the right choice. Read the PHP4 death announcement
on www.php.net. And php 5.2+ has thread safety issues fixed that will
never be backported to php4.

"--with-ttf --enable-gd-native-ttf "

Are you sure you need freetype support?

As a side note, I seriously doubt that using php4 with apache2 MPM is a
good idea.

Anyway, it will not be fixed in 4.x, set status to won't fix.

Description:
------------
Reproductible with PHP 4.4.7 
or with the last Snap 4.4-dev
on Apache2 using MPM worker.

Apache2 process get locked when calling
imagettftext() after calling imagecreate()
every call of such code result of another
dead locked Apache2 processes.

Workarounds :
- Use imagecreatetruecolor() instead of imagecreate()
- Don't use bundled gdlib compile PHP with external gdlib
- Upgrade 5.2.3 who don't have this issue

Reproductible with
configure \
--with-gd \
--with-png-dir=/usr \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr \
--with-ttf \
--enable-gd-native-ttf \
...

Unreproductible with external gd
configure \
--with-gd=/opt/misc/gd \
--with-png-dir=/usr \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr \
--with-ttf \
--enable-gd-native-ttf \
...



Reproduce code:
---------------
    $crash = 1;
    $text = 'Bug';
    $font = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/fonts' .'/'. 'arial.ttf';

    if ($crash == 1) {
        $image = imagecreate(64, 32);
    } else {
        $image = imagecreatetruecolor(64, 32);
    }

    $white = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);

    /* LOCK APACHE2 PROCESS AFTER THIS POINT IF crash == 1
     * => if imagecreate() used but not if imagecreatetruecolor()
     */
    imagettftext($image, 20, 0, 8, 24, $white, $font, $text);

    header('Content-type: image/png');
    imagepng($image);

    imagedestroy($image);


Expected result:
----------------
Display "Bug" white text on black background

Actual result:
--------------
Apache2 process get locked and browser wait for the
image forever. 

After it is a matter of time for Apache2 to have 
all processes locked depending on your ServerLimit
and ThreadsPerChild values.
