Description:
------------
I have just installed Apache 2.2.6, MySQL 5.0.45 and php-5.2.5-win32-installer.msi and rebooted.  When attempting to verify the PHP installation with phpinfo(), the tables are generated quickly until it get to the "Variables" table and then times out.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<html>
<head>
  <title>PHP Settings</title>
</head>
<body>
<H4>PHP Info</H4><p>
<?PHP
	echo "This is a PHP Line";
	phpinfo();
?>
</body>
</html>

Expected result:
----------------
Get full PHP Info display

Actual result:
--------------
The title "Variables" is printed (FireFox gets the first 3 variables also), but after about 2 seconds the page converts to "Cannot Display Page" or "Problem Loading Page" depending upon IE or Firefox, respectively.

Same code works fine on

I made a nearly identical install on another machine with nearly identical results.  Since the results were not the same, I suspected that the issue might be an output buffer issue.  I reinstalled with no Extensions and things work fine.  Therefore, the issue is the maximum amount of lines that PHPinfo() is able to write.

Figure out which extension causes it and then report at the correct place: http://pecl.php.net/bugs/
