I submitted a problem a while ago, which we closed as we attributed it to a bug inside imap c-client.  The results of the crash being very similar to this (often ending in _doprnt() in mdbm.c, indicating bad data being passed into print functions).  I'm now running into this again, this time i'm not touching imap at all however, and the errors are appearing pretty readily in the backtrace as a zend engine error specific to IRIX64 maybe?

Configure options.  PHP 4.2.2, Apache 1.3.26, MySQL 3.23.52, IRIX 6.5.16F

Problem manifests itself intermittently, suggestive of heap corruption, so doesn't allow for a simple script which causes the problem to manifest, does occur across multiple machines.

There are a number of 64-bit fixes in current CVS.  Any chance you could grab the latest unstable snapshot from snaps.php.net and try with that?

This is using the latest PHP4 snapshot.  I had a few problems compiling it, but I think I got a clean build.

# ./configure  --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.26 --with-imap=/usr/freeware --disable-ctype --with-openssl=/usr/freeware/lib/openssl

Server: Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) PHP/4.3.0-dev mod_ssl/2.8.9 OpenSSL/0.9.6e

A note from another IRIX admin who looked at this problem:

I note that the problemic address is not null.  It resembles a stack address. In that case, the most frequent cause of the problem is a miscoded procedure that is called and it returns the address of a variable with is on the stack and that stack frame is then released.  If the stack shortens by enough, then the address may become invalid as the kernel releases under some circumstances unneeded stack frames.

what sort of problems did you have compiling this?

Also updating version
 [2002-08-20 23:02 UTC] si at darkness dot nu 
I had problems with a number of apache includes, I had to edit some headers and put in the explicit paths, it didn't seem able to find the proper paths for some headers "os.h, ap_*.h, etc"
 [2002-08-20 23:09 UTC] kalowsky@php.net 
Sounds very suspicious of a bad install of Apache on the headers part.
 [2002-08-21 01:13 UTC] si at darkness dot nu 
I didn't have any problems compiling 4.2.2 or 4.2.1, just the latest snap version gave the problems.  It was easily resolved by putting some full paths in.
