Description:
------------
PHP 5.2 doesn't coun't process memory_limit => 2048M in right way
in 32bit mode it works up to 4G, after that it would cause a fatal error, this seems ok, because of the memory limitations of 32bit :)
in 64bit its a REAL BUG, because after 2047M the memory limit DOESN'T MATCH, this means no memory limit is active !

as far as i have seen the memory limit for php51 isn't affectet this way because it walks in an error as of 2GB
and it seems in php53 the problem is fixed, here i tried to set limits up to 8GB and all worked fine.

The test script is from http://news.php.net/php.internals/48607 , but i think is shows the problem very well :)

is it possible to fix this, so it will behave as php-5.3 ?
or have the same matching as in 32bit version, so there is a limit if someone setting a too high value ?

i have found this problem as i wanted to get a customer from an old php-5.2.13 32bit machine on a newer php-5.2.13 64bit machine :(

I am having this same problem; but I'm running php version 5.1.6.  I have 12 GB of memory and am running 64-bit Linux.  Why did you say that version 5.1 was okay?  Something about "walking in an error"?

If a fix was created for version 5.2, can one also be created for version 5.1?

thanks!

Closing as this was already fixed and 5.1 is not relevant anymore.
