#43593 [Opn->Fbk]: Impossible to disable Zend Memory Manager in anything other than CLI SAPI

How do I test whether it works or not? phpinfo has a position called "Zend Memory Manager", which can be either enabled or disabled. If I try to disable it and it still says "enabled" I suppose the method doesn't work. Last but not least, why would I want to disable the memory manager? I get horrible crashes with it, I (and not only I) reported it, the bug got closed as a dupe, but the "original" bug was also closed with no feedback etc. And while I believe in fixing the bug itself, it would be nice to have a workaround. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43593&edit=1
