Shared memory managed with standard php calls (shm_attach(), shm_get_var() etc. ) gets corrupted after some hours after initialization.

On the same system shared memory managed with standard C calls from linux library is stable.

Configure line is:

configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12 --enable-track-vars --enable-sysvsh

Have you tried PHP4.0.3pl1? 
Does this problem exist with it?

I forwarded this bugreport to the creators of this extension.

No, I actually didn't: however we are going to upgrade to PHP4.0.3pl1 soon.

I analyzed the problem in a more serious way and found the cause in allocation of arrays. I place an array (lets's say of n integers) in shared memory ... after an impredictable amount if time (from some hours to a couple of days) the function shm_get_var() gives a warning about "not
enought shared memory".

Function sizeof() shows that the array seems to contain more than n elements ... lets's say m ... where m * sizeof int is greater than memory allocated.

The first n-elements readed by shm_get_var() however are the right ones.

I perform about 1 access for second , where every operation is protected by semaphores.

Thanks for attention
