ID: 40181 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: giovanni at giacobbi dot net -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: linux PHP Version: 4.4.4 New Comment: You have to upgrade to PHP5 in order to change this 65536 limit to 2147483647. Though, I would not expect endless loops to "work" anyway. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-20 15:40:41] giovanni at giacobbi dot net Description: ------------ The following code snippet produces a double free error. I don't think my glibc/linux versions matter, anyway I can provide them on request. An interesting thing is that the bug manifests itself only at the 65536th iteration. Removing any reference to the $index variable doesn't reproduce the bug any longer. Reproduce code: --------------- function m($index) { is_int($index); global $x; return $x[$index]; } $i = 0; $x = array("x"); while (m($i)) { $p[] = m($i); } Actual result: -------------- *** glibc detected *** php: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x09d89a08 *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40181&edit=1
