Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

No feedback was provided for this bug for over a week, so it is
being suspended automatically. If you are able to provide the
information that was originally requested, please do so and change
the status of the bug back to "Open".

To reproduce, run any PHP code using the IIS ISAPI extension, then stop and start the IIS app pool. An error message dialog will appear, and information will be added to the Microsoft Windows Application Event Log.

I am able to reproduce this issue as others have seen.  If you simply run the following script, the error should reproduce itself.

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

The crash results in the following:
---------------------------------------------------
In w3wp__PID__4852__Date__02_02_2008__Time_09_57_40AM__660__First chance exception 0XC0000374.dmp the assembly instruction at ntdll!RtlReportCriticalFailure+5b in C:\Windows\System32\ntdll.dll from Microsoft Corporation has caused an unknown exception (0xc0000374) on thread 11

I have done several different tests using IIS7 and have concluded that there are no issues with PHP4 but 5.1.6 and 5.2.5 both cause the crash.  I am using Vista Businesss and confirmed with several other developers in our organization the same issues with IIS7 on Vista.  Those reporting this issue to our group reported that the problem was also seen but not limited to 5.2.3.

From the DebugDiag tool, I have gathered a stack trace which identifies that faulting dll, php5ts.dll.

I have slightly altered my configuration of IIS to accelerate the crash.  Using the IIS Manager, I clicked Application Pools, selected DefaultAppPool and clicked Advanced Settings.  In settings configuration screen, I changed the Idle Timeout (minutes) under Process Model to 1.  Do an iisreset, execute the example script above in the brower and wait.  Within one minute you should see a message stating the 'IIS Worker Process has stopped working.'

I downloaded the DebugDiag tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=28bd5941-c458-46f1-b24d-f60151d875a3&DisplayLang=en

If you would like the complete log of the crash as reported by DebugDiag tool, I would more than happy to pass it along.  If any assistance is required, please feel free to contact me and I will do everything I can.

Thanks,
