PHP 4.0 Bug #8672: Crash when returning a variable from function as argument

From: bf@ez.no Operating system: Redhat Linux 6.2 PHP version: 4.0.4 PHP Bug Type: Reproduceable crash Bug description: Crash when returning a variable from function as argument I had code like this: $user = new eZUser( $session->variable("AuthenticatedUser" ) ); And I noticed now that this creates a segfault in php. The workaround is changing the code to: $val = $session->variable( "AuthenticatedUser" ); $user = new eZUser( $val ); The code worked with php-4.0.3pl1 and has worked with 4.0.4, but it's reproduceable and I think it's a PHP bug. The eZSession::variable() function returns a string value. I've tested it with 4.0.4pl1 and the bug is still there. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8672&edit=1
