PHP 4.0 Bug #8729: popen with >> crashes Win98

From: csaba@alum.mit.edu Operating system: Win 98 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Reproduceable crash Bug description: popen with >> crashes Win98 I have two files delme1 and delme2 delme1 has This is junk in delme1 delme2 has This is trash in delme2 I wish to append delme1 onto delme2 using a canned method or function (popen or passthru) on Win98. On my WinNT system it works fine. On Win98 both of the methods crashes the system hard (i.e. Ctrl+Alt+Delete does not work). I have tried this with both the small and complete php4. With and without apache. Using both "r" and "w" as the popen options. It also failed hard when I tried to use passthru. $hp = popen("type delme1 >> delme2", "r"); Have done searches which turned up nothing about this.
