Composer install fails with bus error: 10

I'm trying to install composer with:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

This fails with the error message:

Bus error: 10

I also tried

php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php

which gives the same error.

I'm on OSX 10.10.3 and PHP 5.6 installed with homebrew.

Any ideas?

In my case it started to happen after switching back to PHP 5.6 to test a project. So my php -v in the terminal shows I was using php 5.6, and composer would be also using this version.

I am using valet-plus, and after switching versions everything crashed. All I had to do was rolling back the php version manually.

$ cd /usr/local/bin
$ rm php   (which was a symbolic link to my valet php 5.6)
$ ln -s ../Cellar/[email protected]/7.3.19_1/bin/php php

After that I could update my valet-plus and use php 5.6 in this project with no composer errors (after a valet fix, of course)

That was a nasty one. I actually checked all sorts of things until I discovered that xdebug forces all php scripts to stop in PhpStorm debugger.

Disablling the debugger in PhpStorm obviously solved the problem.
