Description of problem: If I try rebuild php, some php tests freeze my system completely down at rebuilding time. The onliest, I can see is load > 7, then ca. 25-30 defunct processes, load > 15 - after that nothing happens for the next 15 minutes...okay then I did a hard reset :-( That system is a Intel Pentium 1 GHz machine. At a AMD Athlon 2,4 GHz I get a load of ~ 25 the system hangs up (soft freeze?) for ca. 2 minutes, then the building goes on. I didn't try to reproduce that problem at other platforms, yet. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): php-4.3.7-4 php-4.3.8-3 php-4.3.8-4 (all Rawhide) How reproducible: Everytime, see below. Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpmbuild --rebuild php-4.3.8-4.src.rpm 2. Get the freeze (or hangup) at php tests Actual results: After a change like the following, the rebuild runs fine without any problem (behaviour at php < 4.3.7-4): --- snipp --- --- php.spec 2004-08-19 00:26:27.000000000 +0200 +++ php.spec.rsc 2004-08-19 01:38:24.000000000 +0200 @@ -309,7 +309,6 @@ # is not defined by C standard, so don't presume anything. rm -f ext/standard/tests/file/bug21131.phpt -%if 0 # Tests that fail. rm -f ext/standard/tests/file/bug22414.phpt \ ext/session/tests/019.phpt \ @@ -317,7 +316,6 @@ ext/standard/tests/math/round.phpt \ ext/standard/tests/math/abs.phpt \ ext/iconv/tests/bug16069.phpt -%endif : Build for oci8=%{with_oci8} mssql=%{with_mssql} mhash=%{with_mhash} --- snapp --- Expected results: Rebuild without system hangup or freeze at running php tests.
Which of the bugs is causing the system load - what's the last test result printed before the issues?
Oh sorry, I forgot it. The last 5 lines before the freeze: --- snipp --- PASS is_*() and file_exists() return values are boolean. [ext/standard/tests/file/003.phpt] PASS Bug #12556 (fgetcsv() ignores lengths when quotes not closed) [ext/standard/tests/file/bug12556.phpt] PASS Bug #20424 (stream_get_meta_data crashes on a normal file stream) [ext/standard/tests/file/bug20424.phpt] PASS Bug #22362: combinations of fseek() and fwrite() produce unexpected results.

Ah, that's probably right, that test is usually a problem. It invokes /usr/bin/php with lots of recursion; I'll disable it again.
