Would be tricky to use in conjunction with the QPL if it was GPL'ed. This script: This is a test <? $a = 1; $b = 'Hello'; $c = "$a $b"; echo $a.$b.$c."\n"; ?> And this is the last line generates this overrun: --------------------------------------- cgi_main.c(793) : Block 0x0835D7E8 status: Beginning: Overrun (magic=0x082F9BB8, expected=0x7312F8DC) End: Unknown --------------------------------------- And if I repeat the above code 10000 times in a file, I get a segfault: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x081439d4 in _efree (ptr=0x835d80c, __zend_filename=0x824a0c6 "cgi_main.c", __zend_lineno=793, __zend_orig_filename=0x0, __zend_orig_lineno=0) at zend_alloc.c:212 212 CALCULATE_REAL_SIZE_AND_CACHE_INDEX(p->size); (gdb) bt #0 0x081439d4 in _efree (ptr=0x835d80c, __zend_filename=0x824a0c6 "cgi_main.c", __zend_lineno=793, __zend_orig_filename=0x0, __zend_orig_lineno=0) at zend_alloc.c:212 #1 0x08078958 in main (argc=2, argv=0xbffff9c4) at cgi_main.c:793 #2 0x4040c177 in __libc_start_main (main=0x8077efc <main>, argc=2, ubp_av=0xbffff9c4, init=0x8075914 <_init>, fini=0x8249cc0 <_fini>, rtld_fini=0x4000e184 <_dl_fini>, stack_end=0xbffff9bc) at ../sysdeps/generic/libc-start.c:129 -Rasmus
