PHP 4.0 Bug #9459: Floating point exception upon apache start

From: mkondrashin@apl.ru Operating system: FreeBSD-3.0.RELEASE PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Reproduceable crash Bug description: Floating point exception upon apache start After running standard (with apxs) commands from INSTALL script apache won't start - shows "Floating point exception - core dumped". #gdb apache core show: x2820a14e in php_minit_crypt (type=1, module_number=2) at crypt.c:109 109 srand48((unsigned int) time(0) * getpid() * (php_combined_lcg() * 10000.0)); I've fixed this by changing sradn48 to srand (commented out ifdef lines), but I suppose that I should not use cryptography - it won't be secure. I suppose that this is problem with srand48() on FreeBSD, but I am not sure. Same problem mentioned by FreeBSD-4.0 users in mail list . Note: "- core dumped" string appeares if kern.corefile kernel variable is set to somethig other that /dev/null. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9459&edit=1
