Problems with PHP4 & MySQL Packages

["Eric Pretorious" <epretorious@hotmail.com>]

Hello, All:

I'm stumped: I'm using Debian 3.0 (Woody) on a PowerBook Lombard and can't 
get the PHP package  (php4 4.1.2-6 and php4-mysql 4.1.2-6) and the MySQL 
package (mysql-server 3.23.49-8) to play nicely together. This script...

<?php
$connect = mysql_pconnect('localhost','sample_user','sample_passwd');
mysql_select_db('sample_db',$connect);
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM names WHERE userid = ' . $somenumber;
$result = mysql_query($sql, $connect);

var_dump($row);
?>

...causes apache to die. (i.e., nothing is returned to the browser.) 
/var/log/apache/error.log contains "[notice] child pid [#####] exit signal 
Segmentation fault (11)" for _every_ active apache child process where ##### 
is the pid for the apache process.

Why is this happening?
