ID: 32685 User updated by: david at davidheath dot org Reported By: david at davidheath dot org -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: mandrake linux 10.1 PHP Version: 4CVS-2005-04-14 New Comment: Hi thanks for following this up. I tried with the snapshot you gave and still got the crash. I tried running it in gdb as well ('fraid I don't really know whether this helps or not). See below.

My guess is this code will work fine with php5 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31624 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-13 10:51:34] david at davidheath dot org > 1) Does it also crash when you replace file reading by > assignment from string? yes it does, see http://www.davidheath.org/php_bug/crash2.php.txt I've also noticed that I had a mistake in the original repro script (crash.php.txt), which I've now corrected (the filename on line 4 was wrong). This may explain why you couldn't repro. However, having changed that I now get: [heathd@localhost repro]$ /usr/local/php-4.3-CVS-13apr05/bin/php crash.php Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.12-dev free(): invalid pointer 0x81b14a8! ALSO, another important observation. The crash sometimes seems to not happen if I execute the script in a different directory. For example: [heathd@localhost repro]$ pwd /tmp/repro [heathd@localhost repro]$ ls crash2.php [heathd@localhost repro]$ /usr/local/php-4.3-CVS-13apr05/bin/php crash2.php Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.12-dev [heathd@localhost repro]$ mkdir -p foo/bar [heathd@localhost repro]$ cd foo/bar [heathd@localhost bar]$ cp ../../crash2.php . [heathd@localhost bar]$ /usr/local/php-4.3-CVS-13apr05/bin/php crash2.php Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.12-dev Segmentation fault (core dumped) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-13 10:32:48] david at davidheath dot org Hi, I tried again with CVS HEAD (from PHP_4_3 branch). Still crashes. [heathd@localhost dh]$ /usr/local/php-4.3-CVS-13apr05/bin/php crash.php Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.12-dev Segmentation fault (core dumped) [heathd@localhost dh]$ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-12 20:37:20] helly@php.net Two questions: 1) Does it also crash when you replace file reading by assignment from string? 2) Did you try 5.0 or HEAD? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
