> Could you try providing a short script that uses > gettext functions which can be used to reproduce this..? Sorry, i can't - the bug seems to occurr in larger scripts only... (at least i wasn't able to reproduce in a small script) I'd love to provide a backtrace, but all my efforts so far haven't been very successful, neither by following the steps here at bugs.php.net nor the description at the apache.org site. It doesn't matter if i try gdb or strace, both tools quit with s.th. like: "ptrace: Operation not permitted" Any hints on that? I googled for nearly an hour but couldn't find a reason for gdb to fail with that err. I tried gdb/apache with "-X -PHP4" as well as attaching to the apache process afterwards but i keep getting the mentioned ptrace error - or do i have to use Apache1.3 to trace the problem? Any help is greatly appreciated. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-22 07:32:58] [EMAIL PROTECTED] And/or provide a backtrace of the crash (without --enable-debug, of course as you said it happens only then) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-22 07:30:27] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Could you try providing a short script that uses gettext functions which can be used to reproduce this..? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-21 19:34:26] [EMAIL PROTECTED] It should be a relatively simple fix. I am about to get on a plane, but I will have a look when I get a chance. I have a feeling that now that we think we know there is a string somewhere in gettext not getting null-terminated someone will jump in and find it before me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-21 18:58:51] xris at farcaster dot net Good guess. A 4.3.3 without Gettext doesn't show the symptoms. How to proceed next? ... i wouldn't be too fond of the idea having to reimplement _() in php ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-21 16:31:25] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I doubt it is mysql. Too many others would have hit it. GD doesn't tend to work with strings very much outside of the font stuff. My initial guess is that it is a problem in the gettext extension as that is the least used out of the ones you list. Any chance you could test without gettext() ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
