Re: Bug #14784 Updated: shmop_write causes segfault

I found the reason behind your bug. When you are checking if the segment exists or not you are using $testID = shmop_open( 0xff3, "ac", 0, 0); instead of $testID = shmop_open( 0xff3, "a", 0, 0); which simply tried to open the segment and will return FALSE if it fails. Once I changed your code to mine, the segfault stopped appearing. If you have any further questions you can email me, I am one of the shmop module authors. I believe the bug is occuring because you are passing an invalid flag to shmop_open(). I ask that someone would remove the misleading comment on shmop_open() page which tells people to use 'ac' flag to see if segment exists or not. Also, to whom should I submit a patch that will prevent this from happening in the future?
