Description:
------------
Use of session_set_save_handler seems to cause memory corruption under 
certain conditions.

Inside of _write, there is code that causes a fatal error. The 
corruption seems to not happen if this is removed.

I get the problem in both 5.3.1 and 5.3.2RC3

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
session_set_save_handler('_open', '_close', '_read', '_write', '_destroy', '_gc');
session_start();
session_write_close();
function _write() {
  self::$x = null;
}
function _destroy() {}
function _gc() {}
function _open() {}
function _close() {}
function _read() {}
for($i = 0; $i < 10000; $i++)
{
  $exampleArray[] = new C();
}
class C { }


Expected result:
----------------
No segmentation fault

Actual result:
--------------
5.2.1 backtrace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Small typo: I put 5.2.1 and 5.2.3RC3 text along with my backtraces. I 
meant to type 5.3.1 and 5.3.2RC3 respectively.

We tried this with Zend MM and garbage collection turned on and off. No 
change in result.
 [2010-02-28 16:52 UTC] jani@php.net
Try turn garbage collection of so we know if it's that.. zend.enable_gc = off, IIRC. :)
 [2010-03-01 12:46 UTC] achristianson at yakabod dot com
We tried with GC off and we get the same result.

Hi there,

can confirm this behavior with gc enabled/disabled.
My current installation:
php 5.3.2 for win x86 [API220090626,TS,VC6 ]
Compiler VC6, thread safe

Run under Apache 2.2

Cheers,
Peter

Any chance someone can take a look at this issue that is now approaching 1 year 
in the queue.  We have recently reproduced it on PHP 5.3.4 on CentOS 5.5.  We are 
willing to help out with debugging.  Thanks.
 [2012-03-29 21:14 UTC] arpad@php.net
The reproduce code correctly gives a fatal error ("Fatal error: Cannot access self:: when no class scope is active" and no crash) in the current 5.3 branch and trunk. Changing it to a normal variable assignment works fine.

Please let us know if you can reproduce this bug with another script without this error, or a current PHP version.

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.

Hi,

We confirm the reproduce code crashes with a segault on CentOS 6 (Linux 2.6.32-
279.22.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 6 03:10:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 
GNU/Linux) and php 5.3.3 (php-5.3.3-14.el6_3.x86_64).

Also, we get this result in a core dump for Apache 2.2.15 (httpd-2.2.15-
15.el6.centos.1.x86_64):

Core was generated by `/usr/sbin/httpd'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0  0x00007f4aef304e94 in _get_zval_ptr_cv (execute_data=0x7f4afb6d0658) at 
/usr/src/debug/php-5.3.3/Zend/zend_execute.c:251
251             zval ***ptr = &CV_OF(node->u.var);

Can someone look at this problem, as it's causing major crashes of our 
webserver.

Thanks,
Michael.
