Description:
------------
If gettext extension manages to locate .mo file, script breaks with memory allocation error.

php compiled with --disable-all --enable-cli --with-gettext

same error in 5.0.4 and 5.1.1.

do you need php.core file?

Reproduce code:
---------------
bindtextdomain('test','./');
textdomain('test');
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'ru_RU.UTF-8');
putenv('LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8');
echo _("Test");

Expected result:
----------------
Test

Actual result:
--------------
tail of kdump
-----
15066 php      CALL  mmap(0,0x4395ef38,0x1,0x2,0x3,0,0,0)
15066 php      RET   mmap -1 errno 12 Cannot allocate memory
15066 php      CALL  mmap(0,0x4395f000,0x3,0x1002,0xffffffff,0,0,0)
15066 php      RET   mmap -1 errno 12 Cannot allocate memory

JFYI: the reproduce script works perfectly fine on Linux and outputs:
Test

It is specific to OpenBSD. They rewrote malloc code in v.3.8. You need ru/LC_MESSAGES/test.mo file in order to reproduce it. I think any compiled gettext translation file can be used for test.mo.

I can reproduce problem with standard gettext library distributed with OpenBSD. gettext v.0.10.40.

If php is compiled against GNU gettext 0.14.3, script works as expected without segfaults.

I'll try contacting OpenBSD devels.

If it happens because OpenBSD developers rewrote malloc()'s code - report that problem to them.

OpenBSD rewrote malloc in order to make it secure.
