[Bug 60353] New: Uploading a large file causes mod_fcgid to overuse memory and eventually crash

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60353

            Bug ID: 60353
           Summary: Uploading a large file causes mod_fcgid to overuse
                    memory and eventually crash
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.5-HEAD
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_fcgid

upload script

Hi,

When i'm uploading a large file (~270 MB) using the attached script
(upload.php), mod_fcgid tries to send it to the PHP process and causes a crash
in httpd.exe.
The proc_write_ipc function gets the apr_bucket_brigade list and sends the
buckets one by one to the PHP process and is using a lot of memory until a
point where 'malloc' returns NULL (through allocator_alloc ) and httpd
immediately crashes.

I've attached a suggestion for a patch to this function where the httpd is
using significantly less memory and the crash is gone. It basically frees each
apr_bucket after it is sent to the php process. 

thanks!
