Public bug reported: Binary package hint: php5-cli
test.php: <?php pg_connect("dbname=validorinvalidname user=validorinvaliduser pass=validorinvalidpass"); print "connected (or not)\n"; ?> output of php test.php: connected (or not) SegmetationFault In short, calling pg_connect() is causing a Segmentation Fault **after** the successful completion of the script. Explicitly calling pg_close() before the script ends has no effect. The function does not need to successfully connect to a db to cause the error. I cannot find a combination of different connection string paramaters that make any difference to the bug.
