[PHP-DEV] Bug #14780: Segmentation fault with "mm",PHP works fine with "files" From: jlim <email protected>
Date: 12/31/01

From: jlim <email protected>
Operating system: RH 7.2
PHP version: 4.1.1
PHP Bug Type: Session related
Bug description: Segmentation fault with "mm",PHP works fine with "files"

When stress testing my web server with

ab -n5000 -c10 <url>

after about 1000-1500 requests the child processes start to fail.

In my apache error_log I see many entries like the following:

[Fri Dec 28 19:50:06 2001] [notice] child pid 14215 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)

If I repeat the "ab" test several times, eventually Apache will hang and I
have to restart the web server. Here are the results:

When I switch from "mm" to "files" everything works fine. I have a
suspicion that the bug is related to the fact that I am running on an SMP
processor.
