Comment 7 for bug 1102366

Agreed with picometer. This bug _is_ affecting POST-performing code regardless of mediawiki being installed or not. I have checked myself that the fixes employed on Debian for bug #694473 have not propagated to subsequent Ubuntu releases. Furthermore I do have a (non-symbolicated) backtrace for this occurence and it's remarkably similar to the one posted for the Debian bug #696626 (a duplicate of #694473), so I'm very confident that we're talking about the same bug here.

I'd definitely give this some meaningful importance. It basically breaks my application weekly (when logrotate runs and reloads Apache) and it was a pain to diagnose. It's not unrealistic to believe it's happening to many others.

By the way, I'm Running PHP 5.4.6-1ubuntu1.4 on Ubuntu 12.10.
