PHP 4.0 Bug #6378: browscap configuration cause PHP to crash

From: stud1174@di.uoa.gr Operating system: NT4 Server SP6a PHP version: 4.0.1pl2 PHP Bug Type: Reproduceable crash Bug description: browscap configuration cause PHP to crash I just installed PHP4.0.1pl2 on windows NT4 server with SP6a. I configured it to work as a CGI wrapper with Apache 1.3.12. I used the precompiled verion. The problem is that when I use the browscap directive in php.ini to point to the browscap.ini file, PHP cease to work. In fact it doesn't crash but it never finishes processing the currect page. If I try to reload the page a new PHP process is created and all these processes continue forever! When I comment out the browscap directive all work fine again. I also tried to use a full path to the browscap.ini file instead of a relative one and also to enclose the path in double quotes but nothing worked. Finally I tried to use a path that doesn't exists: browscap = d ;d does not exists With this configuration PHP ran but not normally. The output page was not properly formated. Finally the borwscap.ini that I use is version 2.5 (but I don't think this matters) and the only change to the php.ini that I made is session.save_path = sessiondata\
