Description: ------------ So I thought the other day it might be convenient to grab a stack trace in, you know, the place errors are handled. Apparently, PHP thinks this is a terrible idea. The exact cause is unclear, but I've managed to create a decently small test case that segfaults both on Debian PHP 5.4.4 and Darwin PHP 5.5 nightly. In the attached test script, the call to x() should generate an error, because accessing a string as associative array is forbidden. - the segfault occurs in native _zend_mm_free_int - only able to replicate when there's a function call on the PHP stack - it appears debug_backtrace is only corrupting the stack -- the call to print_r() initiates the segfault. - i've seen $y change every access (eg containing random other variables, or just random heap garbage). - in narrowing down the specific case, I've also often seen messages along the lines of "mm stack corrupt" Core dumps can be found at: - Debian: http://db.tt/aA5wAx7a (16MB) - Darwin: http://db.tt/gxZrP8Pa (400MB) Test script: --------------- <?php set_error_handler(function() { debug_backtrace(); }); function x($s) { $s['a'] = 1; }; $y = '1'; x($y); print_r($y); Expected result: ---------------- Being able to use debug_backtrace() in error handlers. Actual result: -------------- A corrupt heap, resulting in a freaking segfault.

this is actually non-debug-backtrace related issue. a more simple reproduce script (5.3 also); <?php function x($s) { $resource = fopen("php://input", "r"); $s[$resource] = '2'; }; $y = "1"; x($y); var_dump($y); result in an buggy $y there: Warning: Illegal offset type in /tmp/1.php on line 2 UNKNOWN:0 patch attached.
