When I use 

MaxRequestsPerChild 0

(e.g. infinite) in httpd.conf, sometimes Apache crashes.

I have tested this bug on framed page (it is phpMyAdmin, two frames in frameset). When I use only one page (without frames), I have to press Reload button (F5 in Internet Explorer) many times (I rather hold it) to produce crash. 

I think something's wrong in multithreaded code in php4apache.dll: it crashes when two requests occurs at the SAME TIME (often, but not always).

Tere is no bug in 4.2.3, but I cannot use php4apache.dll from 4.2.3 for 4.3.0 - it crashes immediately.

Just get Apache 1.2.27, install PHP as Apache module, open http://localhost and press Reload button 20 times quickly (you may also hold Ctrl+R, it crashes too). You will see GP Fault message. No extensions are loaded in php.ini, no Apache module used instead of mod_php. 

How can I say more?

Sorry, maybe this bug is hard-reproducible in other machines. Well, then you may use the following script:

/index.html:
------------
<frameset rows="*,*">
    <frame src=/test.php>
    <frame src=/test.php>
</frameset>

/test.php:
----------
<?sleep(1)?>

Apache 1.3.27, Windows 2000 SP2, 4.3.0RC1.

Load http://localhost/index.html, then press Reload button. You will see GP Fault message immediately.

See that you need at least TWO frames in frameset to emulate simultaneous requests. NEXT (!) Reload will kick ass.

Seems to be Apache version independent.
Same crashes on same test cases reproduced with:
Apache 1.3.27, 2.0.42 and 2.0.43.
Windows 2000 SP3
Mozilla 1.1
Standart php.ini and httpd.conf.

Also I do had the same problems whatever the value of MaxRequestsPerChild in httpd.conf.

This is new to 4.3.0RC1.
Never had such things with 4.2.3.


Thanks.

The more frames you load the earlier the bug occours!!!!!

I've tried with 4 frames -> 2xReload and it crashes!!!!!

There is the same Problem with Apache2 (2.0.43) and PHP 4.3.0RC1!!!!!!

i've experienced this same bug with 4.3.0RC1 (Apache 2.0.43 on Windows XP Pro (Service Pack 1)... In my experience it seems to recurr randomly, but the logic presented here, does hold true. I've also witnessed similar crashes with 4.2.4-dev, but 4.3 does it far more frequently.. Presumably as long as two requests are going on at the same time.. it doesn't have to be from the same origin..

I think we can move this Report to "closed" because it seems to be fixed in RC2 (-> I haven't tried under heavy load)

I've tried with 2,4 and even 100 Frames ;-)
Apache and Apache2 didn't crash.

Please test with RC2. Or preferrably with the latest STABLE snapshot from http://snaps.php.net

RC2 seems to be OK. Thanks.
