Hello,

I got a weird problem here -- Apache (1.3.20) + PHP 4.06 hangs. 
No core dump, no log entries -- just hangs.
Request to ANY php file produces no results (not even headers returned),
however request to .html files work just fine --
which leads me to beleave that this might be PHP related issue.

Apache restart fixes the problem.

This issue happened couple times... 
Today I was able to reproduce it by running
  ./ab -n 10000 -c 10 http:.../index.php

The third time i ran this, PHP stopped responding.
Because there are no core dumps, nor log file entries, 
the only thing I could do was to runn truss on apache process.

PHP was compiled with the following options:
 ./configure --disable-debug --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-track-vars --disable-display-source --enable-memory-limit --with-apxs=/usr/local/etc/apache/bin/apxs

index.php is a very simple script:

<?php require("header.inc"); ?>

<B>Please enter your query:</B>
<form name="searchform" action="http://search.symbol.com/search.php" method="get" onSubmit="this.search.value=this.search.value.toLowerCase();return true">
  <input type="text" name="search" value="">
  <input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>

Below is output of truss on both /test.html and /index.php (same pid)...
It seems that /index.php request gets
   Err#25 ENOTTY

Any idea why this is happening?  Any suggestions on how
to fix this are very much appreciated.  Please let me know
if there is any more info I can provide.

Is it a know issue with Sun?  I could not find similar
posts on bugs.php.net...

Could you try 4.1.0 and reoprt the result?
 [2002-01-05 16:48 UTC] lobbin@php.net 
No feedback. Closing.
 [2002-01-09 18:26 UTC] php at fkolbe dot de 
Same here with 4.1.1 and Apache 1.3.22 on Windows 2000.
 [2002-01-09 19:40 UTC] php at fkolbe dot de 
Apparently, when my php produces to many warnings, Apache chokes on it.
I rewrote my script to produce less warnings and now it does not hang anymore.
I am using php.ini-recommended from the 4.1.1 ZIP distrib.

Running from the command line, the warnings seem to go to stderr, which
does not make sense with CGI?
 [2002-01-09 19:50 UTC] yohgaki@php.net 
CGI seems prints error to stderr for a long time. It would not be changed.

Anyway, if you could reproduce this problem, feel free to reopen this bug report and add more detailed description.
