PHP 4.4.1 is unusable on a multiprocessor machine running W2K and Apache2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-05 01:00:08] php-bugs at lists dot php dot net No feedback was provided for this bug for over a week, so it is being suspended automatically.

Thank you for your interest in PHP. The FATAL message correspond to Zend calling exit(), which kills all the threads in the process, so that much is expected. To track down the memory issues you could add to your LogFormat directive: "%{mod_php_memory_usage}n" - this will log the maximum number of bytes allocated during each particular request. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-22 21:28:44] jonohlsson at hotmail dot com must say i have this exact problem myself running win 2k / apache 1.3.33 / php 4.3.10 / Zend optimizer 2.5.7 and phpBB forum the apache log is filled with those erealloc errors and the browser page goes blank with a "server not found" message ...but i think it only happens if browsing with IE. mozilla works fine. weird isn't it? i've also tried changing php.ini memory settings, but this deosn't affect the apache log at all ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-17 20:46:17] tlamay at cte1 dot com Okay, after a bit of tweaking I got the latest PHP5 running. It crashes within 8-10 minutes. I have since migrated back to 4.3.10, the most stable version for me at the moment. Funny thing about the PHP5...when it crashes, Apache doesn't ever restart. The server stays completely down. I have to physically start it again. This behavior doesnt occur in 4.3.x.
