Description:
------------
A segfault occurs after a few reloads of a phpinfo() script with PHP trunk on Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10, both 32bit.  It doesn't occur with PHP_5_3.


Test script:
---------------
Steps:
- Start Apache: httpd -x
- Repeatedly load a script <?php phpinfo(); ?>.
- Within 10 reloads, Apache segfaults.

Actual result:
--------------
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

(gdb) p j1
$1 = -2147483648
(gdb) p j
$2 = -1
(gdb) p *decpt
$3 = 9154443
(gdb) p *sign
$4 = 0
(gdb) p i
$5 = 4678168
(gdb) p d
$6 = {
  d = nan(0xfffffffffffff),
  ul = {4294967295, 2147483647}
}

The crash is at the assignment of bigtens[i] in:

    else if ((j1 = -k)) {
	value(d) *= tens[j1 & 0xf];
	for(j = j1 >> 4; j; j >>= 1, i++)
	    if (j & 1) {
		ieps++;
		value(d) *= bigtens[i];
	    }
    }

Because j is -1 it can never satisfy the loop condition

The relevant code in the file is unchanged from PHP 5.3 and dropping in PHP 5.3 zend_strtod.[ch] files into trunk and rebuilding doesn't fix it.

I can't reproduce it. The value from the backtrace (197618504) works fine. Also to got into this crash "k" has to get value 0x80000000 and I can't see how it may happen according to the algorithm.

May be the crash occurs because of bug or wrong optimization in C compiler, but to prove it and provide workaround I have to trace it in debugger,

It is not related to the float bug we had back then? Aka already fixed in 5.3.5 
and trunk.
 [2011-04-15 11:34 UTC] dmitry@php.net
I think it's something different.
