Description:
------------
This bug affects 5.1.4, 5.2.0 and latest CVS on this system, compiled with "--enable-dba=shared --with-db4=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.5/" (or 4.3), and with the dba shared extension in my php.ini file. httpd version is Apache/2.0.46. `php run-tests.php ext/dba` runs without errors.

Permissions:
-rw-r--r-- thedatabase.db

Reproduce code:
---------------
The following script works correctly from the command line, but causes httpd processes to segfault. With a dba_exists call instead of firstkey, it works fine, so I'm fairly certain its a problem with firstkey:

<?php
        $db = dba_open("thedatabase.db", "r", "db4");
        $key = dba_firstkey ($db);
        if($db)
                print "Success: ".$key."\n";
        dba_close($db);
?>


Expected result:
----------------
Should see Success: (first key)

Actual result:
--------------
httpd child segfaults (11) and displays a 500 error.

We also need this thedatabase.db, please put it somewhere and put the URL here.

Alright, here's a link to the database, but as I said: this script (and others) execute just fine from the command line.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip

Cannot reproduce with both CLI and Apache.

works perfectly fine here, with db-4.4.20 in both 5.2.0 and latets CVS.

are you sure that your system libraries/headers are not messed up ?
 [2007-01-24 15:34 UTC] stuhood at webmail dot us 
Its entirely possible... but if that is the case, then PHP shouldn't compile or work from the command line, correct?

The system has:
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.5/
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/

libdb-4.* for each version are symlinked to /lib/

I could try reinstalling BDB I guess, but I still want to hear any other suggestions you all might have.

Thanks

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.

Here are the backtraces affecting httpd when php is built with db-4.3 and db-4.5. Its not crashing where I expected, and its crashing in a different place for both versions.

http://www.hoodidge.net/bugs/db-4.3_httpd-bt.txt
http://www.hoodidge.net/bugs/db-4.5_httpd-bt.txt

You'll note that the 4.3 trace mentions libdb-4.1.so? I tried moving that file and then recompiling php, but httpd would throw an "error while loading shared library" and exit 0177.

So... do I need to recompile apache as well?

Please try latest CVS snapshot first.

>So... do I need to recompile apache as well?
If you apache uses db4 - yes, you'll have to recompile it.
