Description:
------------
I have Apache 1.3 and PHP 4.3 set up on a WinXP Pro laptop for testing.  Asking for the file_get_contents($file) when $file points to an empty text file causes Apache to crash.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$string = file_get_contents("path/to/empty_text_file.txt");
?>

Expected result:
----------------
$string == ""

Actual result:
--------------
One of those MS dialog boxes telling me Apache has experienced an error, and to report it to MS.  Also, a 404 in the page called.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip

I can not reproduce this with the latest CVS snapshot.
(make sure you replace php4ts.dll with the one from the snapshot package)
