#20913 [NEW]: emalloc / erealloc FATAL errors

From: matt8192@yahoo.com Operating system: Solaris 8 PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Reproducible crash Bug description: emalloc / erealloc FATAL errors When I use fpassthru to send large media files (100-500 MB) to the user, it sometimes causes that Apache thread to crash, and it's taken down the entire Solaris box (!) two or three times. Apache's error log entries look like this: FATAL: emalloc(): Unable to allocate 205164673 bytes FATAL: erealloc(): Unable to allocate 205166593 bytes FATAL: erealloc(): Unable to allocate 205166593 bytes The box has a gig of RAM. Does fpassthru not work with large files? Is there a better method?
