From:             [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Operating system: Linux 6.2 and 7.2
PHP version:      4.1.1
PHP Bug Type:     Date/time related
Bug description:  date("r") returns wrong timezone offset, can cause crash

I have tested both PHP 4.1.1 and PHP 4.05 and the following occurs for
both.

The date('r') call returns the wrong timezone offset (in my case
"+101800") which causes a buffer overflow in datetime.c

The date("Z") call correctly returns the timezone offset number of seconds
(630 in my case).

The undocumented (in the PHP manual anyway) option to strftime('%z')
returns the correct value of +1030.

The timezone abbreviation ("CST" in my case) is correctly returned with
both the strftime("%Z") and date("T") calls.
  
This will often cause the process to seg fault and die, althought on more
complex pages, this becomes quite consistant.

With the PHP compile option '--enable-debug', the following is reported in
the Apache error log:

---------------------------------------
zend_execute_API.c(274) : Block 0x0813EDA0 status:
zend_variables.c(44) : Actual location (location was relayed)
Beginning:      OK (allocated on datetime.c:331, 32 bytes)
      End:      Overflown (magic=0x2A8F0030 instead of 0x2A8FCC84)
                2 byte(s) overflown
---------------------------------------

For PHP 4.1.1 the configure line is:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-track-vars
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/conf --enable-bcmath --with-zlib
--with-xml --with-gettext --with-imap=../imap --with-mcrypt
--with-ldap=/usr/local --enable-ftp --without-gd --enable-debug
