anyone on the list got browscap.ini working on win32, crashes/lags php

I tried activating browscap.ini on win2000 (at least two bug reports report failure on win32) (php401pl2/apache/cgi) 1) if I specify a non-existent file "browscap.ini" in php.ini - PHP crashes, that should not be I think 2) if I sepcify an existing browscap.ini (v2.5) it doesn´t work either, PHP seems to "hang/lag" without using processor time regards -- o----------0-¬---------O-·---¬----o---®-----o o O ° . | http://www.kiffen.de | pRoteçt y0ur bRaín |0 O ° ¤ ° · 0°·³°²'²³-¹'³´³°^°³~³²³°'³²²¨³²^³¹³²°²³`³º³°Þ ° o © ° . · | psychedelic experience | gott@kiffen.de | O ° o ° o-¬--o--0-----©-·--O-----o-----0-¤----------o 0 ° · ° . ¤ ·
