PHP 4.0 Bug #6573: php.ini parsing crashes php (trace included)

From: cahagn_o@epita.fr Operating system: NetBSD, OpenBSD, probably FreeBSD PHP version: 4.0 Latest CVS (06/09/2000) PHP Bug Type: Reproduceable crash Bug description: php.ini parsing crashes php (trace included) This has been tested on several platforms, snapshot 200009060345: NetBSD 1.3.3, gcc 2.7.2.2 NetBSD 1.4.2, egcs 2.91.60 OpenBSD 2.6, gcc 2.95.1 (this bug does not occur on Linux, egcs 2.91.66) Here's the configure line: ./configure --with-config-file-path=/path/to/valid/php_ini/ \ --enable-debug \ --without-mysql \ --without-gd php will then crash systematically when launched, the php.ini is the latest one (although the problem also exist with 4.0.2 ini file). Here's what gdb says: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x5cba0 in virtual_file_ex (state=0x0, path=0x0, verify_path=0) at tsrm_virtual_cwd.c:332 332 (gdb) bt #0 0x5cba0 in virtual_file_ex (state=0x0, path=0x0, verify_path=0) at tsrm_virtual_cwd.c:332 CWD_STATE_COPY(old_state, state); I can solve this bug by: - compiling without --with-config-file-path, then php doesn't find any php.ini file and runs 'php -v' fine (although it displays 4.0.2 but I guess that's another problem) - deleting php.ini from the repertory mentioned by --with-config-file-path, then 'php -v' works. Sorry if this duplicate with a post to php-dev@ but I thought it'd be easier to keep track of this bug this way.
