Subject: /etc/php5/cli/php.ini not updated to show switch to ulimit for memory_limit

Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2010 13:59:55 -0700

Package: php5-cli
Version: 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny9

PHP5 cli has been changed to depend on ulimit for setting the maximum 
amount of memory that can be consumed by a script.  The stock 
/etc/php5/cli/php.ini still contains the memory_limit setting with no 
indication that it is no longer being used.  A comment should be added 
to indicate this change and, perhaps, to provide some usage instructions 
for ulimit as users may not find it in the bash man page.

Bug still present in squeeze and testing.

However, the value of memory_limit in /etc/php5/cli/php.ini appears to still be checked by suhosin. In fact, that the stock /etc/php5/cli/php.ini contains memory_limit=-1 is causing sohosin to generate many log messages.

(See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=566609 and  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=582384)

We would need to confirm that ulimit is truly the new functioning memory-limiting mechanism and have php5-suhosin be modified to reflect that.
