ID: 38124 Updated by: mike@php.net Reported By: boing at boing dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: openbsd 3.8 PHP Version: 5.1.4 New Comment: Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip Works fine here (Linux). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-17 13:02:48] boing at boing dot com BTW - openbsd 3.8 package of php 5.0.4 exhibits the same behavior. package name: php5-core-5.0.4p0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-17 12:05:27] boing at boing dot com Description: ------------ I'm getting this: FATAL: erealloc(): Unable to allocate 3358824 bytes The process only allocates approximately 30Megs (according to top and ps). I've increased the ulimits to beyond 256Megs. I've also run php test scripts with different memory allocation and str_repeats and such to create a large processes. All work well. In addition I wrote c code to bang on realloc(3) in openbsd. I know there is plenty of ram left. But this code does get pretty ugly with multiple levels of associative arrays. I'm happy to help out any way I can. Reproduce code: --------------- http://www.boing.com/phptest.tgz - contains the phptest.php script and in a directory, the data file extensions.xml.gz. I stripped down the typo3.org cms code that pulls in their "new extensions" such that code to reproduce is here. I turned it into a standalone file. And it all started out as a research project... php phptest.php I've tried many different configure options, but this is the current attempt: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5 --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql --with-ldap=/usr/local/openldap --with-pear --with-zlib --with-libexpat-dir=/usr/local/shared Expected result: ---------------- a file called extensions.bin that should be the serialized output of the nasty looking array. Hey I didn't write the original code, I'm just the messenger. :) I definitely don't expect it to not be able to allocate 3 megs. Actual result: -------------- FATAL: erealloc(): Unable to allocate 3358824 bytes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38124&edit=1
