Hi Kash,

there were no patches for libvirt-php for a long time. Are you sure this is libvirt-php related and not a bug in libvirt itself?

Thanks, Michal

I've just started using libvirt-php this week but I've been using libvirt for ages.

I did learn last night, the difference between my two systems that is relevant is that the overflow system ran Gentoo while the "working" system ran Debian. I was missing a USE flag for "virt-network" on the Gentoo machine. It is a development environment that I am attempting to create a supported configuration with, so these kinds of missing USE flags and other things are just facts of life I must accept.

Unfortunately, it was kind-of difficult to get this information or even workaround it without rebuilding libvirt on the Gentoo machine, which means I won't be able to give a proper error message to users who encounter this problem as well.

It's a problem in libvirt-php to overflow when requesting libvirt_networks_list on a machine without networking support compiled in. The PHP bindings should error out properly, not memory overflow and put errors in httpd log with cryptic results in the interpreter :-)

I do like the PHP bindings but they appear to be lacking attention. Am I the only one using it? ;-)

I guess you are not, but truth to be told it's been a while since I saw a libvirt-php patch. Mind posting one and break the silence? Michal
