Bug #14358: crash with large numbers of ouput blocks

From: djanix@hotmail.com Operating system: win32 (2k/xp) PHP version: 4.0CVS-2001-12-06 PHP Bug Type: Apache related Bug description: crash with large numbers of ouput blocks hey guys... this has been a problem for me for a long time, and so i finally decided either no one is using php4apache module on win32 because this problem is bad and it's been in php4 for a long time. so tonight i decided to research it because i could really benefit from running as a module and i don't want to leave apache. two similar bug_id's i found are 11093 & 14348 - they might be related, but the cause they give is much different. all i can come up with is this if a script produces large numbers of output blocks, it will crash. i made a simple script that causes it for me everytime. the script is large, so i zipped it (1k) and it's available here. http://www.newnetwork.com/bigoutput.zip if i turn on implicit flushing, the script will execute ok -most- of the time. which is where i got my output blocks theory. but it's theory... if i had more time i would get into the source some more and offer some better advice. apache 1.3 module and apache2 filter both have the same problem. oh, and i compiled it all from CVS with msvc6. i've been compiling my own php for a while now without any problems - cgi version only. any ideas? any other information you might want? -ben -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=14358&edit=1
