Hi,
=20
I am running PHP 5.2.3 as a statically compiled module for a web server
(appWeb, which is an embbeded apache-like server).
My platform is a ppc processor, running Windriver Linux.
=20
The problem I encounter is, that when printing many syslogs to the
system my web-server crashes.
=20
I have backtraced the problem to a specific call to a 'free' system call
in the syslog.c extension:
=20
PHP_FUNCTION(openlog)
{
 char *ident;
 long option, facility;
 int ident_len;
=20
 if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "sll", &ident,
         &ident_len, &option, &facility) =3D=3D FAILURE) {
  return;
 }
 if (BG(syslog_device)) {
  free(BG(syslog_device));
 }
 BG(syslog_device) =3D zend_strndup(ident, ident_len);
openlog(BG(syslog_device), option, facility);  RETURN_TRUE; }
=20
has anyone run into a same problem... or have any ideas as to how to
resolve this?
=20
		Thanks in advance,=20
