#30671 [NEW]: "Unable to fork..."-error appears periodically

From: henning dot mohren at gmx dot de Operating system: Solaris 9 PHP version: 5.0.2 PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related Bug description: "Unable to fork..."-error appears periodically Description: ------------ Solaris restricts the use of popen() to 255 files, which is a low limit in case of servers. When using PHP's system() commands, PHP calls Solaris popen(). This fails, when too system-commands have been invoked. See here (http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1245879#post1245879) for more details. Expected result: ---------------- PHP should implement a workaround or call another Solaris function for invoking system commands. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30671&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=float MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30671&r=mysqlcfg
