Since upgrading fedora 10 to 12, I discovered that posix_getpid() disappeared and not compiled in by default, as it specifies here.
It turns out that it had been moved into package php-process.
Just do "yum install php-process", and all should be sweet again.
Hope this saves someone half an hour of research.
