This question is a two parter.... a) anyone else noticing filetype() failing on ISO image files? Warning: filetype(): Lstat failed for /var/lib/samba/some/file.iso b) I have a script that during processing will eventually call exec('/usr/bin/file -bi '.$file) over 1000 times, I've added a counter and when it dies on this line it's always after 1020 exec calls, regardless of the file name I'm feeding to file. I've reproduced this with both exec, shell_exec, system and the backticks. What am I missing here?
