 [2002-07-15 09:05 UTC] administrator at zinious dot com
Used the standard W32 build of PHP.EXE (I did not compile it).

Wrote a PHP script that acts as a relay server (client connects to me, I connect to the destination server and act as a proxy/gateway to that server for the client).

The destination server had closed the connection and my script socket_select()'ed on it.  However, due to a bug in my script that returned the wrong value, I proceeded to try and socket_read() from the socket instead of closing the client connection and ending the script.

The result of a socket_read() after failing on a socket_select() caused Windows 2000 Server s.p. 2 running IIS 5.0 to die immediately, forced a warm boot of the machine (no GPF, just immediate warm boot).

I reproduced it 3 times, totalling 4 sucessful warm-boots before finding my bug and fixing it.  I have not encountered the problem since.

Incidently, my bug was returning "ZSC_LOSTCONNECTION" from a function that polls the socket, but I was testing for "ZSC_CONNECTIONLOST" instead.

Here is my full relay script, the fixed version (it's very simple to "unfix it" and modify it to act as a normal relay instead of the special service requests that I wrote in).

Hope this helps guys,
