ID: 37204 User updated by: mailslot at mac dot com Reported By: mailslot at mac dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: Linux 2.4.21-9.EL PHP Version: 5.1.2 New Comment: Never-mind. I'll fix it myself.

I don't have 2GB RAM set in the config file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-26 07:25:18] tony2001@php.net >These values are completely ignored during recursion bombs. They ARE respected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-26 04:58:26] mailslot at mac dot com Okay... no recursion limits. Fine. I'd rather have to enable dangerous recursion levels, but I can live without it. I still think this bug is valid. Could you please respect the configuration defines that set limits for script execution time and memory usage? These values are completely ignored during recursion bombs. Surely that's not expected behavior. If they worked as advertised, this bug would never have even manifested itself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-26 03:13:56] judas dot iscariote at gmail dot com the recursion Limit problem is well known (for years), and there is no solution at this time.( because solution should be adecuate for any legitimate use, not just for average use) Use Xdebug to set a recursion limit in your dev enviroment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
