Try taking out the code that uses fopen etc to pass blobs properly to  
bindParam(); just treat blobs like everything else.  This will make  
blob queries fail but should avoid the segfault.

Note that without blob queries working, Drupal will not install  
properly (the cache won't work, for example), but at least we will  
have identified the problem.
