Description:
------------
I am experiencing exactly the same problem as described in 
Bug #34892 (Process hang on LDAP operations).

The system is
 - FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE AMD64 (SMP)
 - OpenLDAP Client libraries 2.2.30
 - PHP 4.4.2 

On ldap_bind() the system goes into a select-loop and uses all available cpu until timeout.

The problem is only present when I have many open virtual servers, if I reduce the number of active virtualhosts the problem disappears.  The CLI version also works fine.


Reproduce code:
---------------
See bug #34892.

It's just your server hitting it's limit..

That does not seem likely.

It is reproducible with an apache process serving no other request than a single request to the test page. Also the number of virtualhosts needed to reproduce the problem is fairly low ( < 15, but with own log files). 

A ktrace of the request gives a 1.3GB kdump file with 8 million  select()-calls before the request dies from a timeout after 60 seconds.

The problem seems to be related to the number of open files. 
The following script will use all available cpu and never finish if run with the cli version. If I reduce the number of open files to 20 it will bind sucessfully immediately.

<?php
$ldap_uri = 'removed';
$ldap_dn = 'removed';

for($i = 1; $i <= 20; $i++)
  $files[] = tmpfile();

$ds = ldap_connect($ldap_uri);
ldap_set_option($ds, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);

if($bind = ldap_bind($ds,$ldap_rdn))
  print "Success\n";
else
  print "Failure\n";

foreach($files as $file)
  fclose($file);
?>

It is likely that the bug is in openldap and not in PHP. AFAICS it is the call to ldap_bind_s() in php-4.4.2/ext/ldap/ldap.c which never finishes.

Sorry, the bug-reproducing code should have $i <= 30, not 20.

It's either openldap bug or you're just running out of file-descriptors on your server. Definately not PHP bug. (I can't even reproduce it myself)
 [2006-01-25 10:25 UTC] brage at zoo dot uib dot no 
Definitely not file descriptors (which has a limit > 10000). 

And it is not reproducible on all systems. The other bug report (#34892) is from a similar system to mine, suggesting that the bug might be a 64bit-related issue.
