#33774 [NEW]: Recieving "FATAL: emalloc()" error

From: brandonnimon at comcast dot net Operating system: Windows XP SP2 PHP version: 4.4.0 PHP Bug Type: Reproducible crash Bug description: Recieving "FATAL: emalloc()" error Description: ------------ I am programming a PHP program and have recently upgraded to PHP 4.4.0 (from 4.3.11). The current program I had did not have any issues. But I wrote more of the program and ran into a "FATAL: emalloc() [could not allocate 25948985 bytes]". I don't have the exact error, since my error log got wiped. I reverted back to 4.3.11 to see if it would give me any real errors (since I knew there were some core updates in 4.4.0). It gave me 1.8GB of real errors and corrupted my error log. I ran the test again on a fresh error log, stopped it sooner (less than a second) which gave me 660000 lines of errors. There are some problems with my program (and they happened to be in/cause and infinite loop: [Tue Jul 19 09:10:21 2005] [error] PHP Warning: array_shift(): The argument should be an array in c:\\program files\\apache group\\apache\\htdocs\\guestbookadmin\\commoncode.php on line 170 [Tue Jul 19 09:10:21 2005] [error] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: active_entries in c:\\program files\\apache group\\apache\\htdocs\\guestbookadmin\\commoncode.php on line 169 But it seems that 4.3.11 should limit the number of errors logged, and 4.4.0 should display more than an emalloc() error. The only change I've made to my PHP file, other than upload settings, is the max script time is set to 24 hours and max memory alotment is 250MB (plenty of memory to go around). Reproduce code: --------------- http://67.181.154.141:81/guestbookadminsource/ there should be a list of the page's .source files. This site is only up while I am awake (7:30am - 11:00pm PST -weekdays; 10:00am - 12:00am PST -weekends). You can either click on each file to show highlighted source, or click the "edit" link on the right to get the source. The files you need (I think -- worst comes to worst, copy all the files as PHP files and run the program, it will self-install) to reproduce the errors are commoncode.php, logintest.php, settings.php, manage.php, hycodeii.php, inout.php. To reproduce: -open inout.php and add a few posts (enter the info at the top). -login to guestbook admin by opening manage.php and type "admin", password: "password". -You should see a list of the entries you just put in. Hit "accept" on any of them. -The system will seem to lockup. Hit "stop" and check your error log. Expected result: ---------------- If you are running my program, it should say "entry #.. has been accepted" and move that entry to the active entry list. As for PHP, it shouldn't just say "FATAL: emalloc()..." it should have what actually happend (like with 4.3.11, but shorter). Actual result: -------------- I think you've gotten the drift of what actually happens. To recap: 4.4.0 stops the browser, and posts "FATAL: emalloc()..." to the error log. 4.3.11 posts an infinite amout of errors to the error log. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33774&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33774&r=mysqlcfg
