[Bug 945615] [NEW] XDebug PHP version compatibility issue

[sry but private]

Public bug reported:

This issue isn't a bug in common sense. 
It's a package interoperability problem resulting in bugs.

I am using a vanilla Ubuntu 10.04 LTS installation.
with
libapache2-mod-php5 (PHP Version 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.14)
php5-xdebug (2.0.5-1ubuntu1)

The usual bug is that there are no visible local variables in the IDE depending on Xdebug.
By manually updating XDebug to a 2.1.x version the bug vanishes.

All behaves well with XDebug version 2.2.x

With version 2.2.3 all seems allright. But then I got

[Sat Mar 03 12:13:45 2012] [notice] child pid 6276 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)

in the apache error log and the debugger crashed. The culprit was the mysqli_init()  statement initiated from Drupal6. 
(Drupal7 isn't affected because it does not apply this statement any more.)

The bug vanished after manually downgrading Xdebug to 2.2.2 again.

So I urge you to change the php-xdebug package to 2.1.x or 2.2.x but not
to 2.3.x unless you dont lift the PHP version.
