Bug description: printf & sprintf crash cgi on big strings (!!!)
This is a nasty one preventing my work to get done :(
A simple printf("%250s",$dummystring) makes php.exe CRASH.
I run that script by doing "php.exe -q test.php".
Same thing you can do with $dummy = sprintf("%250s",$whatever); .. same effect.
Is this a known problem? This sounds severe and for me as programmer it sounds like a buffer
overrun, since smaller format-sizes (%50s) work perfect.
