Description:
------------
When using large values for for $key on shmop_open, only one shared memory object can be opened.  Subsequent attempts to open a shared memory object result in the following warning:

Warning:  shmop_open(): unable to attach or create shared memory segment 'No error' in php shell code on line 1

Also, when performing the operation repeatedly when this warning shows up, PHP will crash with a memory access violation.  The following is information from the Windows Event log about the crash:

Below is the diff of php.ini file with all the comments and blank lines removed.  The diff was almost 500 lines long, so I just copied both files and cleared out the comments and blank lines and diffed that.  The file compared against was php.ini-development.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
// This file demonstrates a bug in php 7.4.23 dealing with shmop_open.
// THis works just fine.
$a = shmop_open(1, 'n', 0664, 16384);
$b = shmop_open(2, 'n', 0664, 16384);
shmop_delete($a);
shmop_delete($b);
shmop_close($a);
shmop_close($b);
// This fails.
$a = shmop_open(367504384, 'n', 0664, 262144);
$b = shmop_open(367504385, 'n', 0664, 65536);
if ($b == false) {
	$b = shmop_open(367504385, 'w', 0664, 65536);
}
// And this will crash php.
$c = shmop_open(367504385, 'n', 0664, 65536);
if ($c == false) {
	$c = shmop_open(367504385, 'w', 0664, 65536);
}
echo "Reached the end.\n";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
It should create/attach a resource from key 367504385 without crashing.  Also, if the first call fails, a warning is expected.  Normally, I would use @ to suppress it.  The second call should attach to an already existing shared memory region.

Actual result:

I cannot reproduce the crash, but the failure to open/attach, and
the cause is pretty obvious: the names of the file mappings are
truncated for keys > 99999999[1], what may cause all kinds of
issues.

This was working forever using a single shared memory region.  Only recently I have been updating the code to use more than one region (3 to be exact) to improve performance.  The purpose is to cache data that does not change often, saving several database queries.

Does the key value limit exist only on the Windows platform? Only when I tried using more than one region, I started having issues.  Also, if this limit is by design, it should be in the manual.

As a workaround until the fix is applied in the next version of PHP, I can use different key IDs.  They were picked randomly years ago.

Yes, this issue is specific to Windows.
