The bug is quite hard to reproduce. We have a script that crashes every time, which uses database, session variables and other such stuff, so it is of no use to you. Then we built another script which issues the same pdflib calls, and this script crashes _part of the time_. Thus I suppose the crash is somehow dependent on php's internal state; how, I don't know. And the cgi version of php does not crash on either of the scripts.

Here is the backtrace:
(note that the innermost frame has been many different things on distinct runs, so that would suggest the execution jumps to a random location)

What version of pdflib do you use?

There have been some modifications in CVS concerning pdflib.

Unfortunately, yes. I've also been unsuccessful in solving the causes of
the crash here. It seems that our project has to abandon pdflib for the
time being... do you know why pdflib upkeepers do not ship php bindings
themselves?

Panu

Did you try not to use --enable-shared-pdflib?

I use pdflib myself and I can't reproduce it with your script.

What are your exact version numbers?

[2000-09-06 12:05 UTC] sniper@php.net

Please do include the version of pdflib you are using.
And do it with the web-interface, not mail. Thank you.

If you're using something else than 3.0.2, upgrade.

[2000-10-02 22:58 UTC] sniper@php.net

Sorry, still can not reproduce. If this still happens
after upgrading to php4.0.3 (to be released real soon now)
reopen this bug report.
