Actually, I just thought about it - maybe you guys are both running it on Windows (shame on you ;)). I *have* actually seen PHP bring down IIS with a setcookie command. Since a setcookie issues headers, I thought "fine, screw you, I'll set the headers myself", and it STILL brought IIS down. And indeed, the load *did* skyrocket and require a reboot of the server. I asked around here at the time if anyone had experienced this (look through the mailing list archive to find it) and at the time got more of a congratulatory salute from the list members than any real responses :) Maybe this is more of a PHP-on-IIS issue than an actual security issue in PHP.
