Description:
------------
When executing the following code on PHP 5.2.6 (CLI or through Apache) I get a segmentation fault. Here is the output I get:

% php test_svn.php
Opening lock on a repo...
resource(4) of type (svn-repos)
Getting file system handle...
resource(5) of type (svn-fs)
HEAD Revision: 1
Geting revision root handle...
Segmentation fault



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo "Opening lock on a repo...\n";
$lock = svn_repos_open('/var/svn_repos/my_repo');
var_dump($lock);
echo "Getting file system handle...\n";
$fs = svn_repos_fs($lock);
var_dump($fs);
$head = svn_fs_youngest_rev($fs);
echo "HEAD Revision: $head\n";
echo "Geting revision root handle...\n";
$root = svn_fs_revision_root($fs, $head);
var_dump($root);
?>

I'm getting the same behaviour on CentOS 5 32-bit.

I have the same problem on Windows XP 32-bit / Intel.

It was a pain, but I finally got PHP_SVN to compile on Windows XP in order to debug this issue. (PEAR doesn't work on Windows, so I had to create my own BAT-script that compiles this module).

I used php-5.2.6 and svn-1.3.2. I tracked this problem to function svn_repos_open at svn.c:1823:

svn_pool_destroy(subpool);

It seems that the pool allocated for svn_repos_open() is destroyed no matter what. It should not destroy the pool if the function is successful and registers the resource. Therefore, I moved svn_pool_destroy(subpool) inside the RETVAL_FALSE branch of the if-statement.

Developers of PHP_SVN should confirm.

Sorry, the exact line number may not be correct as I added some printf() statements here and there, but you'll get the idea.

The resource comes from the main pool and not the subpool. The subpool is only used for path canonicalisation.

In future you should be able to create a debug build and use gdb to get a backtrace on linux.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the
end of next Sunday (CET) on pecl.php.net.

In case this was a pecl.php.net website problem, the change will show
up on the website in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PECL better.

I never noticed the resource took a copy of the subpool that it used later on, I've stopped destroying the subpool and let the resource destructor handle it.
