ID: 38124 User updated by: boing at boing dot com Reported By: boing at boing dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: openbsd 3.8 PHP Version: 5.1.4 New Comment: Thanks for the speedy response! I tried in linux also, works well in gentoo, not in openbsd. :( But openbsd has some weird stuff going on: propolice, etc. Windows has marks on it where I've been touchin in with the 10 foot poll. course the usual bsd analities result in the linking stage: main/.libs/php_sprintf.o(.text+0x24): In function `php_sprintf': /usr/local/src/php5.2-200607172030/main/php_sprintf.c:38: warning: vsprintf() is often misused, please use vsnprintf() ext/pdo/.libs/pdo_dbh.o(.text+0x37): In function `pdo_raise_impl_error': /usr/local/src/php5.2-200607172030/ext/pdo/pdo_dbh.c:60: warning: strcpy() is almost always misused, please use strlcpy() ext/sqlite/libsqlite/src/.libs/btree.o(.text+0x46ba): In function `checkRef': /usr/local/src/php5.2-200607172030/ext/sqlite/libsqlite/src/btree.c:3201: warning: sprintf() is often misused, please use snprintf() ext/mysql/.libs/php_mysql.o(.text+0x5007): In function `php_mysql_field_info': /usr/local/src/php5.2-200607172030/ext/mysql/php_mysql.c:2418: warning: strcat() is almost always misused, please use strlcat() script results w/ php5.2-200607172030: (same thing, slightly different byte count, of course) kusanagi:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs)unlimit kusanagi:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs)limit cputime unlimited filesize unlimited datasize 262144 kbytes stacksize 32768 kbytes coredumpsize unlimited memoryuse 392364 kbytes descriptors 1024 memorylocked 392364 kbytes maxproc 512 kusanagi:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs)ls -la typo3temp/extensions.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 boing wheel 599305 Jul 17 02:32 typo3temp/extensions.xml.gz kusanagi:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs)/usr/local/php52/bin/php phptest.php start handler<br> new handler<br> parsing......<br> <p>The extensions list has been updated and now contains 1777 extension entries.</p><br> saving...<br> FATAL: erealloc(): Unable to allocate 3346466 bytes Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-17 20:01:49] mike@php.net 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). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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
