 Hello,

 there is unresolved bug with php 5.2.x(see
 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47522), which causes segfault in all
 distributions and with multiple frameworks(Zend, qubit-toolkit...), the
 solution so far is to cast return value as string.

 Solution is:
 in wp-includes/link-template.php
 {{{
 function admin_url( $path = '', $scheme = 'admin' ) {
         return (string)get_admin_url(null, $path, $scheme);
 }
 }}}

Comment(by nacin):

 get_admin_url() should never return anything but a string that I know of.
 If it did, no WordPress objects have a __toString() method and thus this
 bug does not apply.

 I have edited out your phpinfo.php link. I would delete that file
 immediately.
