[php-maint] Bug#464074: php5-tidy: Memory limited exceeded always with tidy_parse_string()

[Markus Fischer]

Package: php5-tidy
Version: 5.2.4-2+b1
Severity: normal


I initially reported this as #463872 but it was suggested this may be a
php5-tidy bug.

When used within PHP, the allowed memory size from PHP is exceeded every time:

$ /usr/bin/php -r 'tidy_parse_string("");'

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 141264868 bytes) in Command line code on line 1

Call Stack:
    0.0153      50764   1. {main}() Command line code:0
    0.0304      50764   2. tidy_parse_string() Command line code:1


When using the libtidy-0.99-0 binary from the 20051018-1 package, it works.

However, when I compile a clean 5.2.4 or 5.2.5 release from php.net, it also
works with the 20080116cvs-2 version of libtidy-0.99-0. It seems somewhere
something went wrong during the php5-tidy compilation phase (or so).
