Submitted: 2008-07-17 10:58 UTC Modified: 2008-07-21 21:14 UTC
From: cnorthcote at underground dot co dot uk Assigned:

Description:
------------
I am developing an in-house extension which executes call_user_function_ex() within a seperate thread from the main PHP executable.

When this function is called, there is a segmentation in free().

I am also able to reproduce this on Debian stable (Etch) as well.

PHP was configured with --enable-debug --enable-maintainer-zts.

Reproduce code:
---------------
See http://pastebin.com/m2ddefa48

Expected result:
----------------
The thread should be run (it is), and "Hello World!" printed to the screen.

Actual result:
--------------
Thread starts, then:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

This is not any PHP bug per se. Just bad code.
