Description:
------------
Segmentation fault in function imap_open if script opens
~ 4000 files before.
I have increased __FD_SETSIZE in
/usr/include/bits/typesizes.h
/usr/include/linux/posix_types.h
to 262144 before compiling php (4.4.4, 5.1.6, 4.4.5-dev)


Reproduce code:
---------------

    $basedir = "/tmp/php_testcase";                                                                             
                                                                                                                
    if (! file_exists ($basedir)) {

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes. To
find out how to generate a backtrace, please read
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php for *NIX and
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace-win32.php for Win32

Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug
report and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for helping
us make PHP better.

This is backtrace (php with --enable-debug, non-stripped)

>I have increased __FD_SETSIZE in <..skip..>to 262144 before compiling php
You should have done this before compiling c-client, as imap_open() is just a wrapper for c-client functions.

Please make sure you've configured PHP with --enabled-debug and regenerate the backtrace.

Hi,

I have this simmular problem. In tried it on centos linux 5.2 with apache and php 5.2.5. AND php 5.2.8

This command will get me an empty webpage and a line about segmentation fault in errorlog.
$mbox = imap_open($mailbox, $user, $passwd);

In errorlog:
[notice] child pid 14851 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Is there a work-around ?
regards,
Michel
