Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
ini_set("session.save_handler","memcache");
// using bad port, no server listening
ini_set("session.save_path", "tcp://127.0.0.1:444"); 
ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime", 5000);
session_start();
 if(!isset($_SESSION["tst"])) $_SESSION["tst"]=0;
 $_SESSION["tst"]++;
echo $_SESSION["tst"]."<br>".session_id();
phpinfo();
?>


Expected result:
----------------
error notice 

Actual result:
--------------
crash. PHP is crashing because it is trying to free pools which are already free

I tested this again PHP 5.3.3 and the 3.0.6 of the memcache extension and could not reproduce this.

What version of the memcache extension are you using?  Can you reproduce this against the 3.0.6 version?
 [2010-11-25 13:47 UTC] samm at os2 dot kiev dot ua 
I am able to reproduce this bug on php 5.1 (from RHEL) and 5.2.14. I don`t see 3.0.6 in the packages list - please tell me how to get it and i will do the test.
 [2010-11-25 16:05 UTC] hradtke@php.net 
Sorry, I meant 3.0.5.  http://pecl.php.net/package/memcache/3.0.5
 [2010-11-25 16:28 UTC] samm at os2 dot kiev dot ua 
As you could find - i tested it already with 5.2.14 and 5.1. I will now test it with latest php 5.3 and then will post the results.

As you could see - bug is very easy to reproduce. Also i am able to reproduce it on RHEL, both with 5.2 and 5.3. Please tell me if you need anything else. If you need - i can provide you shell access or VM image.
 [2011-03-11 09:53 UTC] hradtke@php.net 
This bug exists in 3.0.4.  It does not exist in 3.0.5 or trunk however.  Please confirm if you can get this to break in 3.0.5.
 [2011-03-11 12:04 UTC] samm at os2 dot kiev dot ua 
This bug WAS NOT fixed in the 3.0.5, as i already mentioned.
> 2) Latest php from php53 svn on 10.10, compiled on 11 Mar 2011, with
pecl-memcache 3.0.5


This is a proof, once again:
echo '<?php phpinfo(INFO_MODULES) ?>'|/home/samm/local/php53-svn/bin/php
[...skip]
memcache support => enabled
Version => 3.0.5

See "zend_mm_heap corrupted".

There is no memcached server on 444 port, as i wrote before. If i`m launching memcached on this port then script produce no errors.

You are right, it is not fixed in 3.0.5.  I was testing against trunk and assumed it was working in 3.0.5 as well.  I  can verify the crash happens in 3.0.4 and 3.0.5.  The new memcache build should have this fixed.
 [2011-03-11 17:13 UTC] samm at os2 dot kiev dot ua 
Yes, 3.0.5-dev (svn) works fine with my test. I hope 3.0.6 will be releases soon.
 [2011-03-14 00:30 UTC] hradtke@php.net 
Closing since this is fixed in svn.  New version should be released this month.
