Description:
------------
I get often crashes on FreeBSD 9.2 in zend_execute_scripts / execute (in zend_vm_execute.h). There are two variants of this crash.

Expected result:
----------------
Not crash.

Actual result:
--------------
Variant 1:

Core was generated by `httpd'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Variant 2 (longer trace, probably because now it is with mod_rewrite):

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Unfortunately I am not able to provide a reproducing script because I am not able to reproduce the problem. If I call the script that causes the crash with exactly the same parameters as the one that has crashed it is not crashing any more. However the script is crashing few times a week (with different parameters / conditions).

I tried to analyze the crash dumps little more. I have recompiled the source code without optimizations (without -O2) and added some debug statements.

I have found out that the crash happens in the following method in zend_vm_execute.h:

    ZEND_API void execute(zend_op_array *op_array TSRMLS_DC)

The problem is that:

    execute_data = (zend_execute_data *)zend_vm_stack_alloc(

returns NULL:

    (gdb) p execute_data
    $3 = (zend_execute_data *) 0x0

Can this happen when it is not possible to allocate any additional memory on stack? That the program is using too much memory? Most of the core dumps have 48MB.

The following code:

    /* Initialize execute_data */
    execute_data = (zend_execute_data *)zend_vm_stack_alloc(
            ZEND_MM_ALIGNED_SIZE(sizeof(zend_execute_data)) +
            ZEND_MM_ALIGNED_SIZE(sizeof(zval**) * op_array->last_var * (EG(active_symbol_table) ? 1 : 2)) +
            ZEND_MM_ALIGNED_SIZE(sizeof(temp_variable)) * op_array->T TSRMLS_CC);

is trying to allocate 4944 bytes (144 + 8 * 16 * 2 + 32 * 142):

    (gdb) p alloc_size <-- my debug statement
    $2 = 4944

Is that still an issue with any of the actively supported PHP
versions[1]?

No, we do not have a problem with this issue any more on our servers with the current version of PHP (7.4). I am closing the issue.
