Difficult to say. Perhaps our library is returning some invalid data
that cause PHP to core so perhaps error occur in PHP but problem is our
driver...
Which client charset are you using?

Get "php script.php" running (and coring too) now you can

$ gdb $(which php) core*

and at gdb prompt

$ bt

(to get back trace) or

$ gdb php

and at gdb prompt

$ r script.php

... wait core ...

$ bt
