Reproduced with latest CVS I've been trying to create a stripped test environment for the session that causes the segmentation fault. I've copied the session from my project after the segfault and made a stripped script with the same functionality that decodes the saved session. However, when decoding the session nothing goes wrong, when reloading the script, with the decoded session implemented, it segfaulted again. After this, I started experimenting some more. I put a return; on top of the __wakeup of one my objects. The segfaults disappeared. Al my wakeup functions check for external input meant for them. This object however, also synchronises itself, and some children objects with the database. When running in my project environment, the segfault is caused, or "the cause is caused" by a foreach on an array ($this->propertypages) containing objects. However, when running in the stripped environment, the segfault, is caused (or again the cause of the cause) by a child related object which unserialized another object from the database data. Furthermore, this particular object, which __wakeup seems to malfunction, is places directly in the session ($_SESSION['fs_structure_properties_object']) Finally, I thought it had something to do with having a reference from $_SESSION['fs_structure_properties_object'] to $_SESSION['fs_structure_properties'] but the segfaults continued when I used copies instead of references. Combining all this information, I believe it might have something to do with the $this reference during __wakeup() particullary when $this refers to an object that exists in a session. Still I suggest to look for a possible memory leak/infinite loop. Last but not least, I've got a backtrace of the stripped version of my script. Note again, that this script seams to segfault during the unserialization of another object during wakeup. _zval_ptr_dtor (zval_ptr=0x0) at /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.10/Zend/zend_execute_API.c:287 287 (*zval_ptr)->refcount--; (gdb) bt #0 _zval_ptr_dtor (zval_ptr=0x0) at /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.10/Zend/zend_execute_API.c:287 #1 0x027657a8 in zend_hash_destroy (ht=0x91d5754) at /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.10/Zend/zend_hash.c:556 #2 0x0275f454 in _zval_dtor (zvalue=0x919d32c) at /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.10/Zend/zend_variables.c:60 #3 0x02774796 in zend_assign_to_variable (result=0x90837dc, op1=0x90837ec, op2=0x90837fc, value=0x9201444, type=4, Ts=0xfeefe73c) at /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.10/Zend/zend_execute.c:480 #4 0x0276f6b8 in execute (op_array=0x90737a4) at /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.10/Zend/zend_execute.c:1384 #5 0x02770d15 in execute (op_array=0x9025ebc) at /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.10/Zend/zend_execute.c:1686 #6 0x02770d15 in execute (op_array=0x91d4cf4) at /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.10/Zend/zend_execute.c:1686 #7 0x027723fa in execute (op_array=0x8f2b398) at /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.10/Zend/zend_execute.c:2212 #8 0x02770d15 in execute (op_array=0x904b834) at /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.10/Zend/zend_execute.c:1686 #9 0x02770d15 in execute (op_array=0x904dfe4) at /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.10/Zend/zend_execute.c:1686 #10 0x02770d15 in execute (op_array=0x90640e4) at /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.10/Zend/zend_execute.c:1686 #11 0x02770d15 in execute (op_array=0x8ebc044) at /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.10/Zend/zend_execute.c:1686 #12 0x02760d51 in zend_execute_scripts (type=8, retval=0x0, file_count=3) at /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.10/Zend/zend.c:900 #13 0x027330af in php_execute_script (primary_file=0xfef0ef10) at /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.10/main/main.c:1736 #14 0x0277607f in php_handler (r=0x8fca138) at /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.10/sapi/apache2handler/sapi_apache2.c:557 #15 0x00760c88 in ap_run_handler () from /usr/sbin/httpd #16 0x08ca99f8 in ??

Ive not been able to reproduce this as it only seems to occur with *VERY* complex objects like my code generates. Some strange facts I've found out about while trying to pinpoint the exact cause: - In some occasions, escaping a foreach on $this->property in an objects __wakeup(); made the problem disappear. - When manually decoding a session file, (about 3M) I also got a segmentation fault. After increasing the available memory to over 64M the session got correctly decoded. With this *SICK* amount of memory, the actual script kept segfaulting, however, it took longer to segfault so expect a memory leak or infinite loop. - This problem occurs on a Fedora Core 2, Apache 2.0, PHP 4.3.10 machine, while on RedHat 7.3, Apache 1.3.29, PHP 4.3.6 everything works fine. So suspect the bugfix (4.3.9->4.3.10) on session handling for spooky behaviour. I will try to keep you all up to date.
