Probably PHP (and then it's probably one of the libraries loaded by one of the
extensions loaded by or compiled into PHP), but you need to get a core dump and
run it through gdb to find out where to dig.

Look up the Apache CoreDumpDirectory directive to tell it where to write the
dump.

Do you get a similar segfault from the commandline version of PHP? If so that
obviously narrows it down a bit ;-)
