Thanks for the report. Please post a backtrace made with Visual Studio or DebugDiag, GDB backtraces are unusable in this case.

Thanks.

Using Visual Studio it breaks on:

_chkstk is a routine from the C runtime, i won't tell much without a context. Please show a normal backtrace, that's what I'm asking for. The official PHP builds are native VS builds, GDB won't be compatible enough. Fe here's the info how to get a backtrace with DebuDiag https://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace-win32.php

Thanks.

Thanks for the additional info. Looks like this is an issue in the lzf library. Valgrind is not happy as well

==54828== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

Is there any update on when this might be fixed? Can I help?

[2017-03-28 08:45 UTC] remi@php.net

Can you please try latest master, I just upgraded the bundled lib to the latest version 3.6 (but cannot reproduce the segfault on Linux, and don't have any Windows env.)

I don't see any crash on Windows now. But the valgrind issue still present, same as in the trace I posted previously, using the code from the description. I can trigger a snapshot build, if the reporter is willing to test on Windows. But seems like the issue is present in one or another form, still.

Thanks.

[2017-05-29 15:38 UTC] remi@php.net

Should be fixed in 1.6.6

No feedback was provided. The bug is being suspended because
we assume that you are no longer experiencing the problem.
If this is not the case and you are able to provide the
information that was requested earlier, please do so and
change the status of the bug back to "Re-Opened". Thank you.

This bug is still present on windows!
How can you make things for windows without even testing it???
And why don't you offer option to optimize compression for size, not for speed?
