Can you squash them together like they do in fatalmonitor?  For reference,
this is the source of fatalmonitor:
watch "tail -n 1000 /home/wikipedia/syslog/apache.log | grep
'PHP\|Segmentation fault' | grep -v 'filemtime\|failed to mkdir\|GC cache
entry\|cache slam averted\|SHA-1 metadata' | sed -r 's/\[notice\] child pid
[0-9]+ exit signal //g' | sed 's/, referer.*$//g' | cut -d ' ' -f 7- | sort
| uniq -c | sort -rn"

With that I can tell at a glance if the fatal is "mine".
