PHP 4.0 Bug #8647: php.exe exception: access violation address: 0x1008e6a1 on or after file()

From: peter@helpnet.com.au Operating system: NT 4.0 SP6a PHP version: 4.0.4 PHP Bug Type: Reproduceable crash Bug description: php.exe exception: access violation address: 0x1008e6a1 on or after file() Loading array via file(). File is 4Mb of text. Bang, PHP died. I increased PHP memory from 8 MB to 20 Mb but did not fix it. I cut the file down to about 10Kb but that did not fix it. When I comment out the line containing file(), that removes the problem. I thought it might not be file(), it might be any part of the code that uses the array so I commented out file() and inserted statements that manually load the array with data. The script ran to completion using the manual array. gdb backtrace is gobbledygook to me. I am reading your documentation page to see if any of it is relevant to Windows environment. If your page helps me change my php setup to produce additional diagnostics, I will add them to this report. Apache is the latest Apache 1.14 or something from about 3 weeks ago. PHP is PHP 4.0.4 from the large download file. NT 4.0 SP6a running without a hitch for 6 months. The code I am working on was working in the middle of last year on a PHP3 downloaded in the middle of last year. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8647&edit=1
