Exceptions = Apache Crash in PHP 5.3 Snaps

Hey list,

I really /really/ hate to cause additional noise on this list, but I'm
developing software in the PHP 5.3 snapshots with a timeline for release
around the same time this version of PHP is released. We always try to
keep current with our snapshots to make sure everything still works. My
development team has been grinded almost to a halt by the fact that any
thrown exception in the latest PHP 5.3 snapshots is causing Apache to crash.

There's already a bug report here: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44226

I know unreleased PHP versions can't be supported, but fundamental
language functionality was broken. This bug has been open for a month.
This seems like it would be a critical problem and I'm glad Jani had
already looked at and responded to the report. This is just slowing my
team down when the snapshots are generally pretty high quality, from my
personal experience. If this could be looked at further, I would gladly
help someone with debugging and testing and such, if they'll take a look
at the code.

Thanks.

Can you try a debug build with --enable-debug to get a more detailed
backtrace.

Also what is the exact configure line and which apache 2 model are you
using? Worker or Pre-fork?

I mentioned it in my response to the bug report, but forgot to mention
it here. I'm just using pre-built Windows Binaries for each. I'm on
Windows XP Pro with SP2. Using Apache 2.2.8. Not sure what the exact
Apache model is.

Thanks for looking into this for me.

Hey Scott and list,

I wanted to check on this issue to see if anyone was actively working on
it and see what I could do to help.

Thanks.

Another week later and still no response. I would hope /someone/ thinks
this a critical issue and needs to be resolved. Is /anyone/ looking at
this at all?

Thanks.

The line that is crashing was last changed by Dmitry on January 24th,
see http://php.markmail.org/message/7egzhpab6reff7lj

I can't see any errors with valgrind.

Any idea Dmitry?

Thank you, Scott.

The problem only seems to occur in Apache. Trying to reproduce in CLI or
in IIS using ISAPI results in no problems. I've tested from Apace 2.2
all the way back to Apache 1.3.39 and get the same result. I can have a
friend of mine test the issue in Linux to make sure it's not just a
Windows issue. I'll get back to you about that.

I get the problem with Sambar Server V7.0 using ISAPI.

Hi Scott,

Could you provide a script to reproduce the crash?

Thanks. Dmitry.

<?php
throw new Exception;
?>

That's all you need - throwing any type of exception makes it blow up

My original message was sent just to Dmitry (instead to thel ist), and he
replied (again only to me instead to the list) that it is fixed in the CVS.
Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the fix.

Vesselin Kenashkov

The bug has been already fixed in CVS.

Thanks. Dmitry.

With this example I can reproduce the crash under Windows Vista Business
using today's php5.3-dev and php6.0-dev snapshots.
