#21972 [Opn->Bgs]: shell functions (system etc) cause crash

ID: 21972 Updated by: wez@php.net Reported By: befletch at yahoo dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: Windows 98/ME PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: Not a bug in PHP, so marking this as Bogus. There is not anything we can do about interference from virus checking software. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-29 14:37:38] befletch at yahoo dot com Yes, removing Norton Corporate AntiVirus eliminated the problem, and I'll understand if you want to close the bug at this point as a result. I certainly don't have the time or skill to solve this compatibility problem myself. Norton is required software on my company LAN, though, and I doubt I'm in a unique situation that way. Oh, and for the record, calling command.com doesn't make any difference. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-29 13:53:45] wez@php.net So removing third-party software eliminated the problem? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-29 13:07:12] befletch at yahoo dot com I had the exact same behaviour on both of my systems (Win ME, Win 98) as I had before. I forgot to update my bug report earlier, but I had noticed an odd thing about the problem; it only happened once per system boot. After running a script and causing a crash, I could kill a non-responding 'winoldap' process and then the system would work fine. I could run a script which shelled out another command a few thousand times, and not have any trouble. Until the next reboot, of course. Anyway, all of that was true of the previously tested build and the 4.3.2 RC build that you suggested I try. I then tried to eliminate a potential conflict by uninstalling Norton AntiVirus (Corporate edition, v 7.50) on the Win 98 box, rebooting, and running the test. The problem no longer occurred, with either the 4.3.0 version or with the 4.3.2 RC build. I didn't try this on the Win ME box but I expect the problem would also go away on it, as both machines have had the exact same symptoms so far. I don't know what to do with the bug, but that is my observations to date. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-28 12:18:25] wez@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip Do you still have this problem with the latest snapshot? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-30 18:34:10] nicos@php.net I can't verify it under WinXP and WinME with 4.3.0 and latest CVS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
