Description:
------------
mysqlnd trys to free memory which must not be valid (e.g. if memory_limit prevents that)

Test script:
---------------
* create a database table with a bunch of string-columns and fill in a lot of data
* write a php script which fetches the content of the whole table and stores the content in an array
* run the php script in a shell loop which increases the memory limit by a few kB per step. e.g: for i in $(seq 1 100); do let mem=$i*100000; echo $mem; ./sapi/cli/php -dmemory_limit=$mem crash.php; done

Expected result:
----------------
no crash

Actual result:
--------------

If PHP hits the memory limit then mysqlnd loses all control, because Zend takes it.
Can you show more information about the crash? Just the bt, without line numbers doesn't help. valgrind output will be even better.

This looks strange.
==22090== Invalid read of size 4
==22090==    at 0x82BC0E2: mysqlnd_palloc_zval_ptr_dtor (mysqlnd_result.c:103)

==22090==  Access not within mapped region at address 0x8

current_row in the calling function is NULL. Dereferencing NULL with index gives use first 0x0, then 0x4 and 0x8 - you are on 32bit system, thus 3 fields, in this case, on 64bit, this should have been the second field. But how is current_row NULL when there is explicit check just before that call.
Anyway, could you try this patch (it is against 5.3.4-dev) and tell me whether it works for you. Your sources are a bit different, put it will probably apply without problem, with some notices.

Patch works. No crashes anymore. Although I have to say that I added a check for current_row[col] myself and got some very weird memory corruptions on one webserver (out of ~40) after executing a simple mysql query. Don't know why they occured after adding that check..

Applying your patch to 5.3.3 didn't work, so I added your changes by hand and rediffed: http://pastie.org/private/lu8ajelnwwijjiebzzrrta
 [2010-08-17 19:04 UTC] andrey@php.net
Can you test on the server, which exposed this memory problem?
If it is ok, then I will commit the patch to the repository.

Thanks!

Did that already. No memory corruption for now. If it happens again I'll tell you.

alrighty, then I will commit it. If something happens feel free to reopen or create a new report with reference to this one.
