Hi,
Did you find any bugs/problems related to this issue? Yeah i found a bug/problem related to this issue, but
that one was not within the php distribution but in a php extension that was developed within our company. The coder of that extension did not know, that the cookie pointer should not be touched and he manipulated the data. Unfourtunately his code was buggy and so made Apache crash later on because of some Apache module logger handler, that also tried to log the content of the Cookie. This all caused me a lot of debugging work and i hoped my little patch could protect other developers from having the same debugging hours... Btw... some of the SAPI modules, like the ISAPI module estrdup the string anyway and free it themself in the shutdown routine... martin
