Usually the make install already does this. The warning you get shows
that you somehow load it twice ...Recheck your config please if you
really load the extension only once.

The latest extension (the one here on the mailing list recently) has
only been tested with rrdtool 1.3.8 and 1.3.999 (and only fully works
with the latter) but I don't see a reason why it shouldn't with 1.2.27
(the reason for 1.3.999 mainly is a function introduced only recently
which the extension uses at one place).

Looks fine to me. (BTW: if you're using the version from the ML you can
skip the count parameter - it's ignored anyway)

could you do a gdb run on this script or get a dump of where it
segfaulted using a coredump?

None yet. I know of one bug the version on the mailing list has but that
effects another function. Will send the fix for this soon.

BTW: Could you try to run your PHP with the Suhosin Extension and
Suhosin Patch? It should give some more detailled information on the
location then (The Suhosin Patch and in limited form the extension patch
the PHP memory manager to include canaries. So the script doesn't only
crash at the end, but at the location where these canaries are broken).
