Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-11 11:08:47] nikic@php.net Why is this Bogus now? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-10 17:41:17] nikic@php.net Argh, I just can't handle this bugtracker :( Seems like it assignes the bug to me if I leave the "Assign to" field empty. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-10 17:38:39] nikic@php.net Hm, seems like I indeed used some wrong binary. I have just downloaded 313114ts again and it worked :) Thanks for the quick fix and sorry for the confusion ^^ Closing this then ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-10 16:58:13] pajoye@php.net I can't reproduce the problem, are you sure you used the right binaries? c:\test\php540r313114>php -d extension_dir=ext -d extension=php_openssl.dll -r "var_dump(mcrypt_create_iv(1, MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM));" string(1) "☺" and using NTS: c:\test\php540ntsr313114>php -d extension_dir=ext -d extension=php_openssl.dll - r "var_dump(mcrypt_create_iv(1, MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM));" string(1) "║" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-10 14:53:33] nikic@php.net I just tried using an nts instead of a ts build, and it worked there. So it's seems to be some thread safety related problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
