Description:
------------

steps to reproduce:
1) make your memcached server unavailable
2) run the included code

I've been trying to track the bug down. It segfaults right in the fourth iteration of:
while ((request = mmc_queue_pop(&(pool->free_requests))) != NULL) {
    pool->protocol->free_request(request);
}
in mmc_pool_free()

just prior to the segmentation fault, the mmc_request_t *request contains this:
(gdb) print *request
$6 = {io = 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a, sendbuf = {value = {c = 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a <Address 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a out of bounds>, len = 6510615555426900570, a = 6510615555426900570}, idx = 1515870810}, readbuf = {value = {
      c = 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a <Address 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a out of bounds>, len = 6510615555426900570, a = 6510615555426900570}, idx = 1515870810}, key = 'Z' <repeats 251 times>, key_len = 1515870810, protocol = 1515870810,
  failed_servers = {items = 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a, alloc = 1515870810, head = 1515870810, tail = 1515870810, len = 1515870810}, failed_index = 1515870810, read = 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a, parse = 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a,
  value_handler = 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a, value_handler_param = 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a, response_handler = 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a, response_handler_param = 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a, failover_handler = 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a,
  failover_handler_param = 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a, udp = {reqid = 23130, seqid = 23130, total = 23130}}


At this point an assistance is needed.

Thank you

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
session_start()
?>

Expected result:
----------------
the script should end normally returning non-zero value

Actual result:
--------------

I have the same problem -- a connection timeout to one of the servers segfaults trying to deallocate free requests.

My stack trace, on PHP 5.3.6 & Memcache 3.0.5, ends:

#0  _zend_mm_free_int (heap=0x7f0a829ccf60, p=0x7f0a8aa034a0) at /usr/src/debug/php-5.3.6/Zend/zend_alloc.c:2028

#2  mmc_request_free (request=0x7f0a8aa034b0) at /usr/src/debug/php-pecl-memcache-3.0.5/memcache-3.0.5/memcache_pool.c:169
#3  0x00007f0a746d36ca in mmc_pool_free (pool=0x7f0a8a9f6b38) at /usr/src/debug/php-pecl-memcache-3.0.5/memcache-3.0.5/memcache_pool.c:928

If I comment out free_request() below, memcache calls return after a timeout and life continues.  (Obviously, when I get rid of the bad server, 
no errors occur.)

    /* requests are owned by us so free them */
    while ((request = mmc_queue_pop(&(pool->free_requests))) != NULL) {
        //pool->protocol->free_request(request);                                                                                                                                                 
    }
    mmc_queue_free(&(pool->free_requests));

Thoughts?

Try with 3.0.6, and keep in mind that we don't support 5.2 
anymore.
 [2011-05-04 09:10 UTC] niakrisn at gmail dot com
Thanks, pecl-memcache 3.0.6 works fine.

Duplicate of previous report (and fixed in 3.0.6).
