Description:
------------
I've compiled latest PHP 5.2.5 on newly installed Debian Etch with libc6 version 2.3.6.ds1-13etch5
Problem is, that almost randomly serves blank page. Mostly this problem occurs while using phpmyadmin (tested different versions with same result)

In error_log of apache is:
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x084471f0 ***
[Thu Mar 27 21:45:34 2008] [notice] child pid 29274 exit signal Aborted (6)

I also tried to run backtrace, i put it here. Strace gives loads of data. I could also put it here.

When i tried downgrade to php 5.1.6, same error is in error_log, but on the other hand, blank page never occured.


Reproduce code:
---------------
problem occures on random phpmyadmin page, mostly with mysql connection.

Actual result:
--------------
Starting program: /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -X
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

Same problem with latest version. Should be problem in incompatibility with libc library in newer Debian? 

On other Debian servers (with older libc package) I am needed to upgrade libc to same version on, but i am worried about compatibility.
 [2008-03-29 17:49 UTC] jani@php.net 
What was the configure line you used?
 [2008-03-29 19:37 UTC] vlada at mysh dot cz 
This configuration. I've added --enable-debug because of dbg.

./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql  --with-mysql-sock=/tmp/mysql.sock --with-sqlite --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir  --with-bz2  --with-gd  --enable-gd-native-ttf  --with-jpeg-dir --with-png-dir --with-ttf --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local --with-iconv=/usr/local  --with-curl=/usr/local --with-gettext --with-config-file-path=/etc/apache --enable-ftp --enable-mbstring  --with-openssl --with-openssl-dir=/usr/include/openssl --enable-calendar  --enable-exif --enable-sockets  --with-mcrypt --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config --enable-debug

One more question: What glibc version does this happen with and with what it doesn't happen with? I mean, does 5.2.5 work fine with older glibc? And what Apache MPM are you using there?
 [2008-03-31 15:46 UTC] vlada at mysh dot cz 
On both servers is installed Debian Etch.
First, where it works without this error is older instalation with package libc6 version 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2.
The other, newer installation, where this error occours is libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch5.

I was warned before downgrading libc library, but i'll try it and than give a feedback if it works. But many other applications relay on this newer version of libc.

And I am using default MPM, prefork, on both.
 [2008-04-02 09:31 UTC] jani@php.net 
Please let us know if downgrading glibc worked.
 [2008-04-02 10:13 UTC] vlada at mysh dot cz 
So.. I've sucessfully downgraded to same glibc version as on other server is. Than recompiled apache and php again with this older libc, but this errors appears in log again.
Sometimes it causes 
exit signal Segmentation fault(11) and sometimes "only" exit signal Aborted (6).

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x08408b78 ***
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0840d220 ***

I am sorry for bothering but I going to be quite desperate about this problem, because I still don't know why it happens.
 [2008-04-02 10:20 UTC] jani@php.net 
If you have 2 servers and on one you don't have such problems and on the other one you have, just check what the differences are in those systems. php.ini, configure lines, compiler versions, etc.
 [2008-04-03 18:40 UTC] vlada at mysh dot cz 
So.. I have checked configuration of PHP. Default php.ini-dist worked, so I make diff between mine and default. Main difference was in method of saving sessions. We were using sqlite. When I changed it to default, files type, everything is now OK. I leave this, files session configuration run for a longer period, but I think, problem was i sqlite.
 [2008-04-03 21:06 UTC] jani@php.net 
If you can reliably prove it's sqlite session handler that causes it, please reclassify this report as "Session related" and update the summary.
 [2010-01-17 15:22 UTC] vlada at mysh dot cz 
After a year, I came to same problem on newer server.. There were a lot of warnings in apache's error_log 

*** glibc detected *** /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd: double free or corruption (out): 0x08b11590 ***
*** glibc detected *** /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd: double free or corruption (out): 0x08b12a78 ***
*** glibc detected *** /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd: double free or corruption (out): 0x08b1aa30 ***
*** glibc detected *** /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd: double free or corruption (out): 0x0a399120 ***
*** glibc detected *** /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0a3eab68 ***


etc..

Mainly while using DokuWiki or phpMyAdmin

After I changed session handler from sqlite to files, problem dissapeared. Now it's a week with files session handler and no new entry in log saying something about glibc error. So I am sure, it's caused by sqlite session handler.
 [2010-01-18 10:27 UTC] jani@php.net 
Just to clarify: you are using your own compile and not any debian package? And no 3rd party patches are applied?
 [2010-01-18 10:29 UTC] jani@php.net 
Also, this is kinda hard to reproduce so could you try and get a GDB bactrace of this? Instructions can be found here how to do it:
