Bug #6221 Garbage collector loops
Submitted: 2000-08-17 12:30 UTC Modified: 2000-08-17 16:25 UTC

I uses squirrel-mail, a webmail system (www.squirrelmail.org). Whenever a session_start() is invoked and the garbage collector starts (can always reproduced with "session.gc_probability    = 100" then the script loops until it is aborted beacuse of max. execution time.

php4 is linked statically to apache 1.3.12 + ssl.

This error only occurs on a libc5-based system, kernel 2.0.38.
On another glibc-based system, kernel 2.2.16, there is no problem.

My workaround: session.gc_probability    = 0

Sounds like a problem in your libc 5 installation. Sorry, but we cannot guarantee that PHP runs on broken systems.
