Hi,

There's a problem with the memory manager (HEAD):

Bytes to leak may differ as you can see.  The problem doesn't seem to be tied
to leaks though, because I can replicate with code that doesn't leak and that
generates a different backtrace:

Mike, please make sure you didn't forget to do `cvs up Zend` and `./cvsclean` to get a clean build.
I can't reproduce it with your test case, though.

It is generated from a clean build.
I'd appreciate if you could try to replicate it with the following shell script:

---
#!/bin/bash

# adjust these values
BYTES=210000
INTVL=50
LIMIT=500000

#
RTVAL=0
START=$BYTES
while test $RTVAL == "0"
do
	sapi/cli/php -dmemory_limit=$LIMIT -r"leak($BYTES);" >/dev/null 2>&1;
	RTVAL=$?;
	if test $RTVAL == "255";
	then
		if test $START == $BYTES;
		then
			echo "Initial BYTES ($START) too big";
		else
			echo "Intervall ($INTVL) too big";
		fi;
		exit;
	fi;
	BYTES=`expr $BYTES + $INTVL`;
	if test $BYTES == $LIMIT;
	then
		echo "Huh? Reached LIMIT ($LIMIT)";
		exit;
	fi;
done;

echo "SEGV at $BYTES bytes alloc";

Just a note, that I can alos replicate with PHP-5.2.

Hi Michel,

Thank you for catching this.
I fixed the first problem, and will care about the second one later.
It is related to memory overflow and probably cannot be fixed in memory
manager itself.

Dmitry.
