Bug #10443: PHP Crashes when it opens complicated pages

From: charlie@charliedyson.net Operating system: Linux 2.4 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Reproduceable crash Bug description: PHP Crashes when it opens complicated pages PHP just crashes when it opens particularly complicated pages. When I'm hacking at a page, it I add another loop, or insert a few more lines of code in somewhere, it'll just crash. This bug is _not_ caused by the invocation of any one function, the use of any one particular syntax element or feature. It is caused by excessively complicated pages. Therefore, it's probably some memory-related bug in php's internals. Apache logs report that the server dies with SIGSEGV. The only way I think you'll work out what this is is by looking at a core file, or if I send you a suspect file. I can't seem to get php to dump one (tried httpd -X in /tmp, but it doesn't work). Any ideas? I submitted this bug before, but I was told the CVS version had it fixed. I've used a CVS snapshot, and that didn't fix it. Thanks in advance, Charlie Dyson - charlie@charliedyson.net ( By the way, PHP is the best web-related tool I have ever come across and it's made web-development a lot easier for everyone. Thanks. ) -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=10443&edit=1
