Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

My 512MB laptop running XP will allocate 800MB (probably as much as the
page file size, if I pushed it).

C:\php4>php -r "$x = str_repeat('*', 128 * 1024 * 1024); echo 'Done';"
Done
C:\php4>php -r "$x = str_repeat('*', 400 * 1024 * 1024); echo 'Done';"
Done
C:\php4>php -r "$x = str_repeat('*', 600 * 1024 * 1024); echo 'Done';"
Done
C:\php4>php -r "$x = str_repeat('*', 800 * 1024 * 1024); echo 'Done';"
Done
C:\php4>php -r "$x = str_repeat('*', 1280 * 1024 * 1024); echo
'Done';"
FATAL:  emalloc():  Unable to allocate 1342177281 bytes

It works fine; no crashes.  You must have something wrong with your
configuration; check your memory_limit and error_reporting settings and
talk to someone on a support channel to discover the reason that you
have problems with this.

Faster code exhibiting the problem :

<?php
for ($i = 1; $i <= 1024; $i++) // I'm just making a 1024 
Byte string
{
$chunk .='a';
}

for ($i = 1; $i <= 66000; $i++) // if you use 65000 it 
works
{
$tablo[]=$chunk;
}
echo "c'est fini";

?>

THE PROBLEM IS VERY SERIOUS : it crashes the php engine 
on Windows XP. It is reproductible.

I've redonne some tests and it appears that the web 
server is nit the issue (launching the php.exe without 
any webserver exhibits the problem).

I've you have 4 different variables, then the max size 
of each will be 64/4 = 16MB of ram max. That means the 
total ram consumed by the script has to be lower than 
64MB

I reproduced the bug using easyphp 1.7 on a windows xp 
machine. It crashes apache !

Upgrade apache from 1.3.9 to 1.3.29 first, then see if the problem
persists.
