Description:
------------
If I use sybase_free_result() in a script, then php crashes.  The exact same code works fine in php 4.3.4.

./configure  --with-sybase-ct=${SYBASE}
   --enable-track-vars 
   --without-mysql 
   --with-apache=../apache_1.3.29
   --disable-dba 
   --enable-session 

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$db = sybase_connect("server", "user", "pass");
$res = sybase_query("select name from sysdatabases", $db);
while ($data = sybase_fetch_array($res)) {
        print "db: $data[0]\n";
        }
sybase_free_result($res);
sybase_close($db);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
a list of databases with no crashes

Actual result:
--------------
> php s.php
db: master
db: model
db: sybsystemprocs
db: tempdb
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

> dbx php core
dbx version 3.11.10

Hi there!

The bug ist reproducible here on Debian Woody + apache-1.3.29/php >= 4.3.4RC3, too. 

It was most probably introduced while fixing http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26407: sybase_free_result() works properly up to php-4.3.4RC2, but not with a patched 4.3.4RC2 to solve bug #26407 (that patch then made it into 4.3.4RC3).

Well, I'm sorry for not testing sybase_free_result() afterwards, never used it before...

Best regards,
Thomas

Nope, same crash with php4-STABLE-200404021630.

Hello,
same bug with PHP5.0.0-RC1 and the latest PHP5 snapshot PHP5-200404071230 : sybase_free_result() crashes. Should I open a new bug report for PHP 5 ?

It worked fine in PHP 4.3.4 and PHP 4.3.5RC2, but PHP 4.3.5 (final) is broken, and PHP 4.3.6RC3 is broken too. When sybase_free_result is called, there is segmentation fault (my system is Debian GNU/Linux woody, Apache 1.3.26).

Hello,

this bug still exists in 4.3.6. Calling sybase_free_result crashed Apache (Solaris 8, Apache 1.3.29, Sybase 12.0)

Does anyone has a workaround/patch available?

Hello again,

A workaround for this bug is to comment out the line 1602 in php_sybase_ct.c. This function must be broken for a while, since around line 1365 someone fixed the problem the same way.

Oh, BTW PHP crashes while freeing result->tmp_buffer in line 1013. Looks like something corrupts the memory around this variable.

I just tested 4.3.7RC1 and the problem is fixed (although the bug number isn't reported in NEWS). Thanks, PHP team.

Seems to be a duplicate of #28354, which has been fixed a while ago. I'll set this to fixed.
