Which Xapian version?  What platform?

Does "make check" in the php4 subdirectory also fail?

The latest SWIG has major updates to support for PHP, so it doesn't
really make sense to try to track this problem down in the old generated
code.

The snapshots are currently being generated with the old version of
SWIG.  I'll change them to use the latest SWIG (which needs doing before
the next release anyway) and then get you to see if this still happens
with the latest SWIG.
