Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #4939: Unhandled ExceptioninPHP4TS.DLL - Access Violation

Andi,         the plot thickens. In order to eliminate apache, I have been running from the command line.  >From the command line, if I run the debug_ts version, then I get the html out, as expected. If I run the release_ts version, then the script fails, with unable to find file.  Running from the command line also enabled me to start from the VC debugger, and step through the code, for both the release and debug versions.  After a lot of thrashing about, I eventually found that the code seems to fail very early on in cgi_main.c If I set a break on line 359, in cgi_main, and single step through the sequence of executed statements in the debug version this is 360, 364, 365, 366, 367, 368(which seems correct). If I do the same in the release version, the code steps directly from 359 to 368.  Also if I try to inspect any of the missed variables, they are not available in the release version, however they appear in the debug version. I did a rebuild all, and got exactly the same failure.  I recompiled cgi_main.c, with the listing options on, as I was suspecting that maybe the pre-processor had screwed up, but the listing had all the right statements in it.  I'm a bit suspicious of the debugger, but I can't really see anything, I can directly pin on the debugger.  When I compiled the original release binaries, I was failing on the same address, as the PHP released binaries.  I don't know if any of you experienced C programmers have seen this kind of behaviour before, but I for the moment am mystified, but not yet giving up.
