Description:
------------
I am not running a webserver, this is for command line scripting only.

Running the PHP CLI binary more than once on the same command line causes it to hang.  For example, running "C:\php\cli>php -v" twice in a row causes the executable to hang.  Also, running "C:\php\cli>php testfile.php" twice also causes it to hang.  Sourcecode of the test file was simple <? echo "test\n"; ?>.  Running "php -h" multiple times in a row will not cause the problem.

I have tested this using the CGI binary as well and received the same results.  Same results were achieved with 4.3.4RC1 as well.

Reproduce code:
---------------
not applicable

Expected result:
----------------
return to command line

Actual result:
--------------
program hangs.

Works fine for me using latest STABLE CVS snapshot.

I am having the same problem with 4.3.4, 4.3.5RC1, and php4-win32-STABLE-200401190530.  It appears to be a problem with running php too quickly after returning to the command line.  If I run "C:\PHP>php -l -f "somelargefile.php" and then wait a few seconds to run it again, it works fine.

If I run the command twice in a row without waiting, php hangs after it returns the results of the syntax check.  I can use Task Manager to kill the process and continue on (since it hangs after it returns the results,) but when trying to check a whole source tree it's not practical.
