Description:
------------
Hello,

I have a set of two classes which are used together and which work fine initially but which result in memory corruption after being instantiated 32767 times.  I have attached the URL of a sample script which demonstrates the problem since I wasn't able to reproduce it in 20 lines or less.  I ran the program through Valgrind to see if it could ferret out more specifics, but it didn't report any errors.

Thanks,
- Tim Macinta

Sorry, won't get fixed for PHP-4.

Hello,

OK, thanks for letting me know.  Could you give me more information on what the core problem is so that I can try to avoid it?

Thanks,

You can't. This is a PHP4 limitation. Please search the bug system or the mailing list archives for "refcount" and "short int".
