Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-02 11:30:22] hoesh at dorsum dot hu Hi Derick! Which one? Microsoft ships the sources of the RTL with MSVC distribution. The generic C implementation was taken from http://minnie.tuhs.org/UnixTree/V7/usr/src/libc/gen/atof.c.html, found by google with "atof.c" keyword. The var_unserializer.re is located at ext/standard, but I'm sure you know it. The report was created by a M$ engineer, from a user dump. M$ was about to find the reason why IIS stops without _any_ notice, warning or alert. Under high load, the occourance of this problem increases exponentially. I can't figure out, why. An easy solution to solve this problem should be to put one '\0' at the end of the loaded stream, instead of protecting each double's unserialization, and all floats should go well under all Wind[+]ws. Right now I'm about to store strings in the session instead of doubles, and cast them runtime to double values. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-02 09:30:38] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Where did you get that code from? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-02 09:19:25] hoesh at dorsum dot hu Description: ------------ When a double value stored within the session file, the web server might crash. It was a mystical problem for us. To solve this issue, there need some workaround at the VAR_UNSERIALIZER.RE source code: "d:" (iv | nv | nvexp) ";" { *p = YYCURSOR; INIT_PZVAL(*rval); ZVAL_DOUBLE(*rval, atof(start + 2)); return 1; } The problem is the difference in the implementation of the function 'atof'. While general C implementations looks ahead until a non digital character found, microsoft C tries to determine the string's length with a call to 'strlen'. This can couse the crash some times, when the accessible memory doesn't contain '\0'. The report about the memory dump is following in the 'Reproducible code' section. For a quick sight I placed the various implementations of the 'atof' function within the 'Expected result' block. As we figured out, this issue comes up only when unserializing sessions, not zval represented strings, as those zvals are closed with '\0'.
