Quoting Grandmother Spider gs@grandmother-spider.com:
I have a Drupal cron job (4.7) that crashes the web server--just hangs but never returns a specific error message; if I let it run, it just churns. I've let it go for five minutes before finally shutting it down. Its hanging brings down the whole shooting match. The logs tell me only that a segmentation fault occurred.
Which logs? Does it say what is having the segmentation fault? Since Drupal is using interpreted code your issue isn't directly related to Drupal but to the third party applications it uses. Contact me off list if you feel you need to.
