Phalcon, PHP 5.5, Ubuntu 13.10 Issues

Hello all, I've been reading a bunch about Phalcon and was looking forward to checking it out. I have Phalcon compiled, linked to the php5.ini and the phpinfo() page I have shows it installed, enabled, and there. However, when I try to run the test/default application I'm seeing this in the apache logs. This is a brand new server installed with PHP 5.5, Ubuntu 13.10, Apache 2.4.

[Wed Apr 02 18:46:14.381872 2014] [core:notice] [pid 7634] AH00052: child pid 7639 exit signal Illegal instruction (4)

For giggles we installed Phalcon the same way on an older dev 12.04 server with Apache 2.2, PHP 5.3 and everything runs fine. Is there any known issues with Phalcon on the newer distros?

Thanks for your help and looking forward to getting this thing running.

Some additional hunting had me going through the bootstrap index.php file and it appears the issue is coming from the Phalcon\Loader registerDirs. I can get the page to at least render and not crash the Apache process by not passing an array to the registerDirs. Here is my index.php that allows the request to actually render.

try {

    //Register an autoloader
    $loader = new \Phalcon\Loader();
    $loader->registerDirs(
        //array(
        //    '../app/controllers/',
        //    '../app/models/'
        //)
    )->register();

    //Create a DI
    $di = new Phalcon\DI\FactoryDefault();

    //Set the database service
    $di->set('db', function(){
        return new \Phalcon\Db\Adapter\Pdo\Mysql(array(
            "host" => "localhost",
            "username" => "root",
            "password" => "secret",
            "dbname" => "test_db"
        ));
    });

    //Setting up the view component
    $di->set('view', function(){
        $view = new \Phalcon\Mvc\View();
        $view->setViewsDir('../app/views/');
        return $view;
    });

    //Handle the request
    $application = new \Phalcon\Mvc\Application();
    $application->setDI($di);
    echo $application->handle()->getContent();

} catch(\Phalcon\Exception $e) {
     echo "PhalconException: ", $e->getMessage();
}

Try compiling Phalcon this way:

cd cphalcon/build/safe
export CFLAGS="-O2 -fvisibility=hidden"
phpize 
./configure --enable-phalcon
make
sudo make install
