Operating system: FreeBSD
PHP version:      4.3.10
PHP Bug Type:     Reproducible crash
Bug description:  FATAL:  erealloc():  Unable to allocate ### bytes

Description:
------------
We have seen this error under the following conditions

- FreeBSD 4-STABLE
- Using Apache 1.3.33
- PHP 4.3.10
- multiple servers
- servers have hundreds of megs of available RAM and gigs of free swap
- httpd processes are well within resource limits
- happens with random PHP scripts, even simple pages that don't use much
memory
- pages that generate the error may work if immediately reloaded
(unchanged with respect to code and data), suggesting that this is not a
per-request memory limit being exceeded
- almost always happens *before* headers are sent
- occurs on pages not using gzip or zlib or output compression or anything
else that would defer content output
- happens with alloc amounts from 7500 bytes to about 1meg, averaging
between 100-300k.
- happens in repetitive "clusters"

Problem persists across "apachectl graceful" but "goes away" (for awhile
at least) after "apachectl restart" so the Apache parent process may tie
in somehow.

Is there a way I can obtain more helpful debug information about this in a
production environment?

Thanks for any help with this!







Reproduce code:
---------------
n/a... virtually any PHP page appears susceptible, which is consistent
with the observation that it occurs before headers are sent.


Expected result:
----------------
PHP script should run.

Actual result:
--------------
Example from Apache error log: (all messages appear in immediate
succession)
FATAL:  erealloc():  Unable to allocate 7500 bytes
FATAL:  erealloc():  Unable to allocate 7500 bytes
