A stack overflow shouldnt cause a segfault. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-01 20:25:11] [EMAIL PROTECTED] no bug here. just a stack overflow, which is avoidable by tweaking the new ini options and/or increasing the stack size. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-12 19:03:04] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes, endless recursion most likely results in a segfault and this is expected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-12 15:15:26] nikolas dot hagelstein at gmail dot com This seems to be stack overflow related in general: <?php class Foo { function do_something() { global $x,$i; $i++; echo $i."\n"; $x->do_something(); } } $i=0; $x = new Foo(); $x ->do_something(); ?> Endless recursion results in stack overflow which throws a segmentation fault. Probably libc os related. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-08 20:44:14] nikolas dot hagelstein at gmail dot com seems to work with ulimit is there any other solution beside recompiling it using the named flag? i mean running out of stack may happen on any system regardless of its default ulimits. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-07 14:48:39] [EMAIL PROTECTED] You probably run out of stack. You can try increasing your stack size and trying again on the command line with: uname -s 16384 for example. If that's what your problem is you can compile an external PCRE that will not use stack but heap (and be slower in the process). You can do that by compiling PCRE using --disable-stack-for-recursion option. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
