PHP Caused Segmentation Fault - php-pecl-ssh2

I have being trying to debug a php code for the last couple of days. Coming from Python, it was frustrating not to be able to have nice debugging tools available. I ended up installing latest ssh2 php module to fix this. It seems that PHP :: Bug #63192 was causing this. I tried Eclipse PDT, Xdebug and var_dump, but couldn't figure out how to fix this. 

Here are some technical details, in case you are facing the same problem:

$ rpm -qa|grep ssh2
libssh2-devel-1.2.2-11.el6_3.x86_64
libssh2-1.2.2-11.el6_3.x86_64
php-pecl-ssh2-0.11.0-7.el6.x86_64
