Bug description: a bug in functions/sybase.c kills libphp3.so and httpd child.
Hello,
On apache-1.3.17+mod_ssl (taken from modssl.org as src.rpm) with
RedHat 6.2 with observed that a lot of our PHP3 scripts would cause an httpd
child to die with a seg fault. This was with both 3.0.17 and 3.0.18. Some of our
scripts would report a warning but most of them would just die in "sybase_connect"
with just 3 arguments. Usually, adding "iso_1" as a 4th argument would solve the
problem. All of these scripts were working fine on php-3.0.9. A dig in the source
showed up uninitalized use of "charset" in sybase.c. We patched sybase.c this way:
