With the latest php4 cvs, I am getting the following in my apache error log:
[Fri Apr 14 22:44:32 2000] Script: '/var/www/horde/imp/test.php'
---------------------------------------
./zend-scanner.l(213) : Block 0x081D21E8 status:
Beginning: OK (allocated on ./zend-scanner.l:544, 16 bytes)
End: Overflown (magic=0x2A8FCC00 instead of 0x2A8FCC84)
1 byte(s) overflown
---------------------------------------
./zend-scanner.l(544) : Freeing 0x081D220C (16 bytes),
script=/var/www/horde/imp/test.php
Here is the simplest test script I have found that reproduces the problem:
<?php use './fishfooder'; ?>done
Here's where it gets tricky: it seems to depend on the number of characters in
the filename. Some longer ones don't generate the error, some do; no shorter
ones that I tried generated it, but I didn't do an exhaustive search. Slashes
('/') indicating directories _do_ count in the number of characters. require()
does not generate the error.
Also, the file must exist, but it does not have to be anything in it -
fishfooder.php is a completely empty file for the purposes of the above script.
Hopefully this is enough detail to track down the problem.
