Summary0001729: Upgrading to newer version of Xdebug using PECL when older version is enabled results in segmentation fault.
Description

When upgrading to 2.9.0 using PECL when 2.8.0 is loaded in memory results in segmentation fault.
This happens at the end of installation perhaps because PHP tries to load the new binary.

Disabling the extension before upgrading and enabling afterwards is a smooth process.

Steps To Reproduce

On ubuntu create a fresh installation of PHP7.4 using the package from https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php
Install Xdebug and PECL and try upgrading using PECL

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php7.4 php7.4-xdebug
wget https://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar && go-pear.phar
sudo pear config-set php_ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini
sudo pear config-set auto_discover 1
sudo pear channel-update pear.php.net
pecl install -f xdebug-2.9.0

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Hi,

I can indeed confirm this, although this only recently started to become a problem for me. It has been reported in the past (0000793), and also in other packages, such as https://github.com/pdezwart/php-amqp/issues/95 and https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/15210). This is not a bug in Xdebug, as it's the PECL installer that causes this by overwriting a binary that is already in use (I believe). As a workaround, you can temporarily disable xdebug.so in php.ini (by using the ; at the start of the zend_extension=xdebug.so line) when running "pecl install", and then reenabling Xdebug.

cheers,
Derick
