ID: 38585 User updated by: t dot stobbe at blackdogdev dot com Reported By: t dot stobbe at blackdogdev dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Linux 2.4.27-2-386(Debian sarge) PHP Version: 5.1.5 New Comment:
I installed 5.2-200608241830 and now I can't even get to that bug because of an entirely new bug (yes a real bug that this time I can reproduce easily), but my boss is going to kill me over all of this and I don't have time to submit that report right now. I will over the next couple of days. Again, I can't seem to reproduce the bug with a short script (I've been trying to for two days). You'll have to go off of the detailed description I gave. Sorry again about that, but it can't be helped. Additionally, the bug is pretty random, and although the warnings start appearing, the script still runs for a bit, making it harder to reproduce. I'm about to install my app on another server (RedHat based instead of Debian) and see if it happens there. I'll keep you guys posted. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-24 19:24:56] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try the latest 5.2 snapshot and if you're still able to reproduce it - please provide a short and complete reproduce script. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-24 19:18:25] t dot stobbe at blackdogdev dot com Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I've done some checking for memory leaks in my scripts and such and know that it has nothing to do with memory/resources not being freed. The application, while running takes about 14m of vm which is only about 2% of our total ram/swap, so it's not a full memory issue or anything like that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-24 19:13:58] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-24 19:10:48] t dot stobbe at blackdogdev dot com Description: ------------ This bug applies to at least PHP 5.1.2 (cli) and 5.1.5 (cli), but probably more. I'm not sure if it's a cli only issue, but I doubt it. At a certain point, after large numbers of classes are allocated, and quite a few iterations of function and method calls are made (a minute or two of running), temporary internal memory allocation in the Zend engine seems to start faultering. This first signs appear via FALSE errors like: Warning: preg_replace(): Empty regular expression in /home/cr/blkbx/lib/Strings.class.php on line 65 ...for a call of (on line 65): $s = preg_replace("/ +/", " ", $s); or, this one might happen... Warning: preg_replace(): Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in /home/cr/blkbx/lib/Strings.class.php on line 36 I thought it was a PCRE issue (like pcre_cache getting corrupted or something), but modified php_pcre.c to printf the regular expression pattern before anything else and it displays "/ +/" 99% of the time and then all of a sudden it becomes "". Additionally, I've seen the pattern become "1". The next call might then become "/ +/" again. Most likely this means that the problem is with the zend hash management engine. A short time after these warnings start appearing (the script will continue running for a bit), PHP dies with a Segment fault. This seems to occur just as I'm unsetting an object, although I can't confirm that this is the only time it happens. Further more, I've done a bit of searching on the internet and found that other people have received the exact same random warnings under similar conditions, although no one seems to know how to fix it. I'm sure this is a duplicate bug report, but after hours of searching the bug database, I couldn't come up with this report. A backtrace is provided below. Reproduce code: --------------- This is a serious issue which I've managed to confirm is an engine problem, but not been able to find a place to patch it myself. Nor have I been able to reproduce it using simple examples. It only appears to happen when large numbers of classes are allocated, and therefore (sadly) I can't seem to reproduce the underlying issue without my entire (and it is very large and complex) application running. I'm sorry about this, but hopefully I've done enough of the initial leg work already for you guys to be able to track it down. Expected result: ---------------- No warnings or segment faults to occur (I know, I know... bad expected result. Please read the bug description). Actual result: -------------- The following warnings are all false as they concern 100% valid, hard-coded regular expression patterns such as "/ +/" and "/[a-z]+\\.0/i". They start randomly occuring just before the crash.
