Although I'm using apache2, I also had some crash issues with PHP 4.3.5. 
  Specifically, it segfaults on exit (graceful or otherwise).  Although 
the PHP folks have tagged it as Bogus, this bug describes exactly what I 
am seeing (the backtrace is identical):
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=27735

This is quite annoying, because among other things it breaks logfile 
rotation -- the logfile gets rotated, but apache dies with these 
messages in httpd-error.log:
[Tue Mar 30 06:44:48 2004] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing 
restart
[Tue Mar 30 06:44:48 2004] [notice] seg fault or similar nasty error 
detected in the parent process

Reverting to the PCRE bundled with PHP 4.3.4 (PCRE version 4.3) resolved 
the problem for me (just replace the PHP 4.3.5 ext/pcre directory with 
the one from PHP 4.3.4).
