An entry in the descriptorspec array of type "file" that has only two elements (i.e., is missing the third element, the mode with which to open the file) causes the segfault. I suggest that: * proc_open() should return an invalid resource, and a meaningful warning, instead of segfaulting like this. * perhaps the mode should default to something if ommitted, instead of giving a warning, perhaps "r" would be a safe default. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17375&edit=1
