Description:
------------
I have tested this code on two machines. I have memory error  or endless loop.

On first machine code fails from $count = 385 on second machine from $count = 1633.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$count = 385;
for($i = 1; $i < $count; $i ++) {
  ob_start();
  echo $i;
  ob_flush(); 
} 

?>

Expected result:
----------------
123456789101112[etc.]

Actual result:
--------------
First machine:
1[there is endless loop and 100% CPU]

Second machine:
1*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (top): 0x0000000004c9c370 ***
Aborted

Mike, this looks like a stack overflow to me (note that ob_flush() is used, not ob_end_flush() so we got insane amount of nested buffers).
Do you think you can do something about it?

It works even fine here with a count of 50000 if USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0 is set. Maybe a MM failure?

I got a segfault with $count = 1633. in 5.2.0

with 5_2 CVS in debug mode I get For exmaple

./sapi/cli/php -dmemory_limit=4M obmess.php

I have the same problem... Apache starts to user 50% cpu and then crashes giving:

Fatal error: out of dynamic memory in yy_create_buffer() in Unknown on line 0
 [2007-01-29 06:06 UTC] noah at rave dot ca 
<?php
set_time_limit(0);
$handle = imagecreatefromjpeg('images/large.jpg');
for ($i = 1; $i < 1000; $i++)
{
  ob_start();
  imagejpeg($handle, '', 90);
  $imgdata = ob_get_contents();
  ob_end_clean();
}
?>

Apache keeps running and PHP gives Fatal error: out of dynamic memory in yy_create_buffer() in Unknown on
line 0 with every pageload after so no php pages will load...

Re-assigned. I think the original issue has to do with Zend MM.

Fixed in CVS PHP_5_2. HEAD is not affected.
