Bug description: httpd threads hang with large data structures
I've had a lot of problems recently with PHP cleaning up properly after
using large data structures.
A sample script is included:
$huge_array = array();
for ( $i=0 ; $i<= 8000 ; $i++ ) {
foreach (array("cn" , "uid" , "sn" , "givenName" , "attr1" , "attr2" ,
"attr3") as $j ) {
for ( $k=0 ; $k<= 50 ; $k++ ) {
$huge_array[$i][$j][$k] = rand(0,10000)."value";
}
}
}
The script executes normally, but the httpd thread remains afterwards,
consuming memory and CPU. It appears to need a kill -9 to make it finally
die. If enough of these are run, all of the child processes of apache get
tied up, preventing it from serving any more requests. At this point the
threads have to be killed and the server restarted.
I've also encountered similar problems with storing the results of a large
ldap_get_entries(), although the behavior of the above script suggests that
the problem is not actually with the LDAP function. Reducing the size of
the query incrementally reveals that there seems to be a "breaking point"
where this behavior begins.
httpd also logs that it has problems terminating its child processes:
[warn] child process 9541 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM
I'm running php-4.0.6-7 under apache-1.3.20-16, all Redhat 7.2 RPMs, with
the default configuration.
