PHP 4.0 Bug #6026: httpd crashing when sessions in use

From: dylan@realcafes.com Operating system: Solaris 8 Generic_108529-01 PHP version: 4.0 Latest CVS (08/08/2000) PHP Bug Type: Reproduceable crash Bug description: httpd crashing when sessions in use OK, Under Solaris 8/Intel, PHP4.0.1pl2, and the latest CVS both exhibit the same behavior. Basically, you launch httpd (with PHP compiled in as a module, or running as a DSO, it doesn't matter), and try to reqest a page on a client machine. It's about 50/50 that the page will display. If it _does_, all is well. If it doesn't, you get a "page cannot be displayed" error on the client, and on the server, a quick check of dmesg says that the httpd child has crashed. Of course, the primary httpd stays running, but the child that was servicing your request dies completely. A new process is started and life goes on, but it's totally unacceptable to have to refresh your page a couple times to get PHP to work without crashing httpd. I _have_ narrowed it down to PHP (or something it's calling), as this _DOES NOT_ happen when sessions are disabled. Later, Dylan
