PHP 4.0 Bug #6122: JVM starts only on 3 requests per httpd

From: torben@php.net Operating system: Mandrake Linux 7.0 PHP version: 4.0 Latest CVS (12/08/2000) PHP Bug Type: Other Bug description: JVM starts only on 3 requests per httpd ./configure --with-java --with-mysql --with-gd --with-apache=../apache_1.3.11 --enable-track-vars --enable-sysvshm --enable-bcmath --disable-debug --with-xml Using Blackdown JDK 1.2.2 From php.ini: [java] java.class.path=/usr/local/lib/php_java.jar extension_dir=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20000809 extension=libphp_java.so java.library.path=/usr/local/jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/i386:/usr/local/jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/i386/native_threads:/usr/local/jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/i386/classic:/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20000809 Test script: <?php $system = new Java("java.lang.System"); print "Java version=".$system->getProperty("java.version")." \n"; print "Java vendor=".$system->getProperty("java.vendor")." <p>\n\n"; print "OS=".$system->getProperty("os.name")." ". $system->getProperty("os.version")." on ". $system->getProperty("os.arch")." \n"; $formatter = new Java("java.text.SimpleDateFormat", "EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy 'at' h:mm:ss a zzzz"); print $formatter->format(new Java("java.util.Date"))."\n"; ?> The first 3 runs of the above work as expected. The fourth run gives the error: Fatal error: Unable to create Java Virtual Machine in /home/torben/public_html/php3test/tj.html on line 2. Setting MaxRequestsPerChild to < 3 in httpd.conf makes the problem go away, but this is obviously a suboptimal solution. :)
