[Bug 503396] Re: canary mismatch on efree()

Thierry, yes, thanks, I had actually come across both of these.

A couple of points:  On the first link ... this same site ran fine on
another 8.04 system with a very similar configuration for 8-9 months
without this error.  Secondly, if I have hit a php bug that is
corrupting memory (ie suhosin is just the messenger of bad news), why
does it take days worth of submitting these forms, to trigger the bug?
(My wild, wild theory is that it is xcache related, but who knows ...
BTW the problem system is 3G RAM vs the non-problem former system 1G).

On the second link, it looks like all these are using mysqli extension,
or mssql. There is no shortage of similar problems with mssql. The site
in question is using plain mysql (not mysqli). Not sure this is
necessarily significant or not.

Lastly, I have probably 4 or 5 systems using 8.04 with suhosin, and this
is the only time I ever have seen this error.

Thanks.
