My latest issue with Drupal and PHP. Of course there could be an issue with my script but considering that it runs fine until I try to use the db_query function of Drupal I think there is probably a small memory leak in that routine somewhere.
I’m processing about 700,000 users in the script. If I process them and write results to files everything works great. Once I start trying to use Drupal to make the inserts into the database it starts throwing errors:
php(521) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=1069056) failed (error code=3)
php(521) malloc: *** error: can’t allocate region
php(521) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug
Bus error
I’ve posted it at Drupal.org so maybe someone will figure this out or tell me that I made a huge mistake in my code.
