Bug #13593: system() & exec() hang

From: jeremy@deadbeef.com Operating system: Windows 98 / PWS PHP version: 4.0CVS-2001-10-07 PHP Bug Type: Reproducible crash Bug description: system() & exec() hang running any program from system() or exec() causes a console window to pop up brefly, the program runs and then the web server hangs. I am running the 4.0.8-dev build from www.php4win.de Oct 4 2001 23:30:20 in CGI mode with personal web server. To get the web server to work again afterwards, it seems I have to stop the PWS service, ctrl-alt-delete and kill all php processes, and then restart PWS. Sometimes that doesn't work and I have to reboot. There are no error messages printed anywhere, it just hangs. Any program. -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=13593&edit=1
