i try fread function(binary file) to read execution file may crash php(apache)
because exectuion file header is 0x00(????), that is the file header is memory protection area
so win2000 kernal may send signal fail
----------------------------------------------------
fread can detection execution file in previous processed?
that is do noting for execution file format...

oops...misunderstood (!) this. 
Can you please show us a SHORT example script which
causes this crash?

for example:(abc.exe is execution file)
$fp=fopen("abc.exe","rb");
$exe_get=fread($fp,filesize("abc.exe"));

When reading with the function fread I have found an error when read hexadecimal "1A", not, but I believe that they must more of the sort have.

I've tried opening various exe and com files and I am unable to replicate the crash you've reported. Please try the latest  release and see if the problem still occurs.

I got a similar problem with file which containt 1A (hexa) but no crash the fread only skip the 1A ... on Win NT with Apache/1.3.27 (Win32) PHP/4.2.3 

I have the same probleme with : Apache/1.3.27 (Win32) PHP/4.4.0-dev 
for example a 7437824 bytes files become a 7.437.722 Bytes files 

here is the code I use :
$file1 = @fopen($localfile, "rb");
$file2 = @fopen($destfile, "w");
while (!feof($fp)) {
fwrite($file2,fread($file1, filesize($localfile)));
}
