Reported By: datib...@php.net
Status: Open
Bug Type: Streams related
Operating System: Linux
PHP Version: 5.2.11
New Comment:
My results for PHP 5.1.x were wrong, because I didn't compile them with
--enable-memory-limit, so the ini_set() wasn't actually working for
those; guess it was automatically added in 5.2.x even in the presence of
--disable-all ... my bad =(
After some more research on the PHP code itself, the problem seems to
lie in the fact that the following two functions are called by
stream_context_create():
zend_list_insert() - called by php_stream_context_alloc()
zend_list_addref() - called by php_stream_context_to_zval()
This results in a refcount of 2 for each context returned. This has
changed in 5.3.x but not sure in how many places ;-)

I'm not trying to disable memory_limit. Setting it to "0" just happens
to make the issue appear faster.
Changing it to the below value of 1k yields the same results as
mentioned earlier, tested on the same 5 php configurations:
ini_set("memory_limit", "1000");

To disable memory_limit, you need to set it to -1, not 0.

<?php
echo "This is PHP ", phpversion(),PHP_EOL;
ini_set("memory_limit", "0");
for ($i=0;$i<2000;++$i) {
$x = stream_context_create(array());
unset($x);
}
echo "Done", PHP_EOL;
?>

What code? There is no such script in this report that crashes. Not
even when changed to loop thousands of times. Not with PHP_5_2 or
PHP_5_3 or HEAD branches. So please, come up with a proper reproducing
script.

I've change the summary a bit to avoid confusion with an actual memory
leak (those that would get reported by php at the end of execution in
debug mode).
When kept running (using cli), an endless loop of given code would
eventually result in an out-of-memory error.
In PHP 5.3.x this no longer happens, so it seems that this has been
rectified before, just not in this branch. It would be nice if the same
fix could be applied here.
