We can see the php-cgi.exe succesfully loaded the odbcint.dll(process monitor trace shows a success) after this we are not seeing any activity in the php-cgi.exe process.

hang dump shows two threads running both with same stack as shown below

not sure what is causing the php-cgi.exe process to get hung right after loading odbcnt.dll. I am seeing all the php-cgi.exe process getting hung with the same behavior.Killing all the php-cgi process will get back everything up.

synced source code 1.3.6.1(may be incorrect as the wincache version in the dump showed 1.3.4.0)

and  it is executing on "goto Finished" line 

/* First process reaching here will set all ocacheval to 0 if required */
        /* Even with manual reset and initial state not set */
        hfirst = CreateEvent(NULL, TRUE, FALSE, evtname);
        if(hfirst == NULL)
        {
            result = FATAL_APLIST_INIT_EVENT;
            goto Finished;
        }

Please pick up 1.3.6.2, which has a fix for this issue.

Additionally, 1.3.6.2 adds a new setting that can be used to disable Shared Reader/Writer (SRW) locks.  By default, WinCache uses SRW locks.  Disabling them will incur a slight performance hit, but is robust against byzantine failures where php-cgi.exe instances get killed while WinCache is holding a shared lock.  The new php.ini setting is:

wincache.srwlocks=0 ; default is 1.

1.3.6.2 is available out on SourceForge in the developer releases folder.

Thx!

Current version of WinCache (1.3.7.1) has many fixes to crashes.  Also, changes to avoid deadlocks during startup path was added to WinCache 1.3.6.2, and are carried forward to 1.3.7.1.  This issue should now be resolved.
Please keep an eye on the php_errors.log file; WinCache now emits messages when there are failures in this startup path.
