I am running the site on Windows 2k3 sp3 and Apache 2.2. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-05-05 18:09:25] pajoye@php.net Fixed in 5.3.x ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-05-05 17:52:08] php at mmtbb dot com Testing on PHP v5.3.1 (installed with XAMPP), I'm able to run 50 concurrent popen requests without any fault. All processes terminate after completion. I understand that the popen() and exec() were both experiencing this issue in the past, the 5.3.x line seems to resolve the issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-06 17:35:17] patrick dot bueker at triangle-solutions dot de I once had the problem too. I had the feeling that it has something to do with threadsafe or non-threadsafe versions of PHP. I still have the problem on some installations, others work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-01 18:42:09] garretts@php.net I'm trying to come up with a reproducible test case for this bug. If anyone has a complete test scenario for this please post it. I simply can't replicate the effects here.
