[wp-testers] wp-admin/index.php gives a segmentation fault.

I've tried looking on the forums for this question, and nobody has responded 
to my query (all other forum topics on the subject have solutions that do 
not work). I am running the latest stable version (2.7) and my 
wp-admin/index.php occasionally fails to load, and apache reports a 
segmentation fault. I say "occasionally" because it decides to do this at 
seemingly random moments, but these moments last several minutes. It 
happened again about 10 minutes ago, and now the page is loading perfectly.

Has anyone had this problem before, is it a wordpress problem or one with 
apache, because all my other websites appear to be running fine! If this 
isn't the correct way to ask I do apologise, but the forums don't seem to be 
very helpful (probably a popularity problem), and I can't find any other 
method of help.

Adrian,

A search [1] for 'segmentation fault' in the forums found Otto's recent 
response [2], "No PHP script should ever be able to cause a segmentation 
fault in the process. PHP is not executable code, it cannot 'crash'." 
Advice from both Austin and Otto is invaluable, so, a call to your host, or 
system administrator, should be considered.

Adrian, if possible, please provide the link to your Forum question.

Thanks.
