Operating system: Windows XP SP1
PHP version: 4.3.10
PHP Bug Type: COM related
Bug description: new COM() crashes PHP
Description:
------------
$x = new COM("Word.Application") crashes PHP
It crashes even without a web server (i.e. running PHP from command
line).
$x = com_load("Word.Application") works fine though.
It's impossible to get a backtrace since PHP crashes when executing the
new COM() line.
$x =& new COM(...) doesn't crash PHP, but the returned object is usable. I
guess this is the "intended" behavior since COM objects shouldn't be passed
by reference.
Reproduce code:
---------------
1. $x = new COM("Word.Application")
2. $x = com_load("Word.Application")
Expected result:
----------------
1. COM object
2. COM object
Actual result:
--------------
1. php crashes
2. COM object (works fine)
