#28396 [Bgs->Opn]: crash when memory limit reached

ID: 28396 User updated by: operator at infomaniak dot ch Reported By: operator at infomaniak dot ch -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: linux glibc 2.2 PHP Version: 4.3.6 New Comment: Alright. This is not true. Memory allocation failing due to external bad behaviour must cause segfault, not because of memory_limit reached. Then, I get exactly the same result without --enable-debug . For info, crash occurs exactly when memory_limit is reached. (output just before crash: 509528 510552 511576 with a memory limit at 512000 output got without --enable-debug) ) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-14 13:46:19] wez@php.net This is expected behaviour; in a debug build, when memory allocation fails, we force a segfault. Don't run debug builds in production. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-14 13:23:01] operator at infomaniak dot ch Description: ------------ When memory limit is reached, this irremdiably cause a segfault. -- php with no extensions at all compiled with: --disable-all \ --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs \ --enable-sigchild \ --disable-ipv6 \ --enable-memory-limit \ --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd \ --disable-static \ --enable-shared \ --enable-debug reproductible with any memory_limit value (tried from 512 bytes to 8M) Reproduce code: --------------- <? $i=1; while($i++) { $a .= "."; if (($i % 1024) == 0) { echo memory_get_usage() .
