I can't reproduce it here using ubuntu 9.10.

Can you attach the config.log and main/php_config.h (from the build directory if you compile PHP outside the root src directory).

Since I do not know how to attach files here, there goes links:

php_config.h: http://pastebin.com/xxKxuBS2
config.h: http://pastebin.com/8KcBe0FF

Also, added strace output: http://pastebin.com/sP4hT4LB

It works just fine here.

Can you try to run it through gdb, stop the app when it reached the endless loop, and get a backtrace (bt)?

It does not look like a crypt issue at all. Is the src file you call exactly what you pasted here? Or can you attach it as zip please?
 [2010-03-29 13:21 UTC] pajoye@php.net
Stupid me, you did not call crypt php. Please do it again using:

gdb --args php crypt.php

or

gdb php
> run crypt.php
<break>
> bt

Same problem on windows (5.3.2 binary, php5apache2_2.dll):

Run 2 requests in parallel:
for ($i=0; $i<500000; $i++) {
  crypt('a', '_');
}

ab -n 1 -c 1 http://localhost/test.php
=> ~1 second, ok

ab -n 2 -c 2 http://localhost/test.php
=> hangs
 [2010-06-05 01:18 UTC] tallyce at gmail dot com
Also confirmed third call hang on Win7/Apache2.2/PHP5.3.2.

Can anyone suggest a workaround until the next release?

This patch was what I proposed initially, it only reduces the risk but does not fix all cases.

What I committed is over safe as we could remove the tsrm lock. However I do need to know how we can do the membar on solaris.
 [2010-06-17 01:01 UTC] srinatar@php.net
i have attached a patch to add membar functionality for solaris. af course, this would be more relevant if we want to remove the tsrm lock around this.
