Description:
------------
when I try to execute a script with PHP4.3.3RC1/OpenServer, I've got a Segmentation fault if I don't specifiy the entire pathname before the script file


ex :

* ./my_script.php gives me a segmentation fault
* /home/seb/my_script.php is OK

see also php_scandir.c error at compile time, is this useful?

  
I'm using :
 
 SCO OpenServer 5.05
 Gcc 2.95.2pl1
 UDK 7.1.1

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes. To
find out how to generate a backtrace, please read
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php

Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug
report and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for helping
us make PHP better.

Thanks

Could you please compile your PHP with --enable-debug, this should result in a more detailed backtrace.
 [2003-07-22 03:07 UTC] s dot vanvelthem at ibelgique dot com 
That's what I've done (???). I followed the 
(http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php) document. Maybe I'm doing wrong? 

How to call gdb?

I typed 

gdb /usr/local/bin/php ./core

Is this correct for CLI usage? The better thing to do is to document it in bugs-generating-backtrace.php (all options...). But i'll try to re-compile it with --enable-cli to be sure.

According to avaliable documentation, the problem is a result of a bug in SCO OpenServer 5.05. Below is a url to a patch that is hopefuly a work around this bug, please try it and reply with the result.

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 "Open". Thank you.

Just tried PHP 4.3.3RC4 without the patch and the problem still occured.

I applied the patch manually, did a make distclean and recompiled. I didn't include the 'ifdef SCO' commands as I'm only ever going to compile on SCO - and wanted to be 100% certain that the other changes took effect. 

The patch worked and fixed the problem. It also fixed the problem I was having with PHP segfaulting when _no_ script was passed to it.

Please include this patch in later versions (e.g. PHP5)! I experienced the same problem, and also #ifdef SCO does not work properly, bug still occurs. When I remove the #ifdef line, the bug is fixed.
