Subject: efree() crash when used in a shutdown function
From: frank@kromann.info ("Frank M. Kromann")

Hi,

From the pecl/printer extension:

static void php_printer_shutdown(zend_printer_globals *printer_globals
TSRMLS_DC) {
	if (printer_globals->default_printer) {
		efree(printer_globals->default_printer);
	}
}

PHP_MINIT_FUNCTION(printer)
{
    ZEND_INIT_MODULE_GLOBALS(printer, php_printer_init,
php_printer_shutdown);
..


This code fails when the module is shutting down. The mudule is compiled
against PHP5, and it works fine with PHP4.

If I change efree() to free() (and change the estrdup() to strdup()) the
code works fine. I have checked the string just before calling efree and
it is allocated and has a value.

Is there any problem calling efree() from a shutdown function ?
