Bug Type: Apache related
Operating System: RedHat 7.3
PHP Version: 4.3.2RC4
New Comment:
First of all, your example stuff is totally bogus.
. There is no session_start() anywhere
. You include pure html as php using virtual when you should be using
include()
Second, it never crashes, of course you don't get any core files.
Third, there are easier ways to shoot yourself in leg too,
but we still don't suggest you should do it.
Fourth, as long as you can't provide us any example that actually has
any far possibility on working and uses some
sane ways on doing things, this is bogus.
Phillip: virtual() might work for including php files, but the result
is still unpredictable..

Philip, did you try the test files I linked?
Thanks,

Someone changed the online docs VERY recently, however I'm sure there
is a problem here.
I did "ulimit -c unlimited", and then ran apache manually (with all the
-DHAVEs) but no core file was produced.
Thanks,
Barry

virtual() works fine on PHP files, as documented (although I can't test
old versions), so I believe sniper was just mistaken and don't see
anything here to document.
Barry, are you sure you set the ulimit before the backtrace? That's
extremely important. I'm unable to reproduce and changing back to
Apache related.

What sniper says is not in line with the current manual. The current
manual says that as of PHP 4.0.6 virtual() can be used on PHP files. So
the manual is not correct I assume. Changing this to be a doc problem.

I am aware of that.
However, this was not a PHP file. It is merely an html file with a .php
extension.
There is no good reason for it to segfault.
If the policy is that .php files will not be loaded with virtual, then
DON'T LOAD IT. GIVE AN ERROR. DON'T RANDOMLY CRASH.
Random crashes are inexcusable. At least try to make the software
idiot-proof. Give the idiot an error or warning message.
At least, the documentation for virtual should mention this problem if
it's not going to be fixed.
Thank you,
Barry Gould
