#21804 [Opn]: php crashes iPlanet - php4_execute

ID: 21804 User updated by: dwells@amgen.com Reported By: dwells@amgen.com Status: Open Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: Solaris 8 PHP Version: 4.3.1-dev New Comment: I've had more time to look into this, and found that the script below will recreate the crash. Still using http_load -parallel 5, of course. Oh, and I noticed that I accidentally posted the 4.2.3 bt here. I'll post the 4.3.1-dev bt tomorrow. Thanks <?php putenv("SOME_VAR=/this/is/some/value/here/dont/you/think"); ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-29 16:17:37] dwells@amgen.com Bug #21948 is a bit different. The crash we get is always in strlen, and only occurs under load when we set environment variables in the script. It sounds like #21948 happens every time, not just under load. My naive WAG is that the load causes a resource starvation that php does not catch. Thus a segv. But somehow this is related to environment variables. Hmm... Perhaps a bug in the section that allocates memory for env vars? Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-29 15:10:45] jmt@purplehat.net Bug #21948 may be a related issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-23 13:08:56] dwells@amgen.com It crashes with other scripts as well. Our developers experienced this problem, and I found that these two scripts reliably reproduce it. We set the Oracle variables in the script because multiple applications run in one web server instance - they may not use the same version of Oracle, and they certainly use different sids. However, when I commented out the putenv/getenv statements, the test ran cleanly. The "byte count wrong" messages went away too. So we do have a kludge of a work-around. It would be nice to have this fixed. I'm not clear why setting environment variables in the php script is a bad idea. I would expect each thread to have it's own environment... Thanks, David ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-22 21:58:58] sniper@php.net Does the crash happen only with the provided script? And btw. you should set those envinronment variables in the system, NOT in the script.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-21 13:29:00] dwells@amgen.com Had the wrong email addr... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
