Status: Open
Bug Type: DBM/DBA related
Operating System: BSD/OS 4.3.1
PHP Version: 4.3.2
Assigned To: helly
New Comment:
It turns out on my system the ndbm is really a wrapper around the more
recent Berkeley db that uses dbopen().
The problem seems to be that the ndbm library appends .db to file name,
so if you open "foo", it really opens "foo.db". There's a bunch of
code in php_dba_open that distrusts ndbm's locking and tries to open
the file and lock it, but that code doesn't know that the file is
really called foo.db and gets confused.
The locking code is a mess. If it's written down anywhere what it's
supposed to do, I can probably come up with a simple patch or rewrite
that will work anywhere. The obvious question is why it tries to do
its own lockf rather than use the one built into ndbm.

All the system libraries are the standard ones. We may have an arcane
difference between BSD/OS and other BSDs, assuming we know this works
on other BSDs. I could try it on FreeBSD 4.8.
tom:johnl:php-4.3.2$ php -r 'echo print_r(dba_handlers());'

(
[0] => ndbm
[1] => cdb
[2] => cdb_make
[3] => flatfile

The result should be impossible with normal builds. Did you compile
your own libc or something like that?
Please execute: php -r 'echo print_r(dba_handlers());'
You could also provide me with your config.log per email but stick to
the list for the rest.

On my system, it crashes with any dbm file, even one with no
entries.
