Re: Testing 4.0.2RC1

I've been quietly testing 4.0.2RC1 for the past week or whatever it's been. I'm not on the qa list, perhaps I'll join.... this is my first post to that list. In any case, I'm seeing memory problems as well. zend_alloc seems to be involved in a number of crashes. That's looking at core dumps they all seem to have zend_alloc in common and die when they try to free something that has not been allocated. Or so it seems. My problem, from a QA standpoint, is that I cannot duplicate the crash in any small program reproducable in order to submit a bug report. I've posted some traces to php-dev, but not surprizingly did not get any responses. Our php programs are quite long (1000+ lines in some cases) and apache segfaults maybe once every 10 to 20 times a page is hit. I believe this problem existed in 4.0.1pl2 as well. However it does NOT exist in 4.0RC2 which is what we consider to be the last really stable version of php. I'm sure the 4.0 release is also stable, we just stopped upgrading after RC2. I wish I had a more informative post, but I can't get things to reproduce in reliable way, but the current cvs is crashing our systems and it seems to be zend_alloc related. --pk -----Original Message----- From: john singleton [mailto:jsinglet@digitalassurance.com] Sent: Friday, August 25, 2000 5:22 PM To: php-qa@lists.php.net; PHP Development; Andi Gutmans Subject: [PHP-DEV] Re: [PHP-QA] Testing 4.0.2RC1 Oh yes - and test i am... i have a major issue -- a sev 1 if you will. under this configuration.. WINNT4 server CGi version with IIS4 there seems to be a memory issue.... first off - php completly ignores the memory_limit directive. hence the problem begins. i first suspected that memory was the problem as when ever i would execute a certain script , php would just hang. so i went commenting out like by line and i found that there is actually ONE line i can remove and it runs, if i add even one more line to the script it hangs. the memory tops out at 6140K which - at first i dident have a problem with untill i found out i could not tweek the memory. any help on this issue would be great. BTW - the program i am testing this on is one i have written which spans about 15,000 lines of code. so i am finding quite a few interesteing things..... thanks JLS ----- Original Message ----- From: Andi Gutmans <andi@zend.com> To: <php-qa@lists.php.net>; PHP Development <php-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2000 2:10 PM Subject: [PHP-QA] Testing 4.0.2RC1 > Hi, > > Is anyone actually testing 4.0.2RC1? :) > We have had no complaints so far which probably means no one has started > testing yet. > Andi > --- > Andi Gutmans <andi@zend.com> > http://www.zend.com/ > > -- > PHP Quality Assurance Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-qa-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-qa-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net > > -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
