Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.3-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows (zip):
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.3-win32-latest.zip

For Windows (installer):

  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.3-win32-installer-latest.msi

Does not crash for me..please try the latest CVS snapshot. And if that fails, provide the configure line you used.
 [2008-02-26 00:26 UTC] james dot j dot hackett at gmail dot com 
There was no change when using the latest snapshot. I used a configure of "./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2".

I am able to run 5.2.5 with no problems.

Hi,
I'm experiencing the same problem on Windows platform.

Throwing an Exception causes PHP to crash.
Using PHP5.3-dev latest snapshot, running as Apache 2.2.8 module.

Regards
Petr

Just wanted to add that this still isn't fixed in the latest 5.3 snapshot, for me. Windows XP Pro with SP2. Apache 2.2.8.
 [2008-03-29 19:59 UTC] auroraeosrose at gmail dot com 
Wow, pretty bug - I can confirm this with Apache 2.2.8 on windows with a 5.3 snap - note this ONLY is an issue for the apache 2.2.x handler, I can't get it to crash cgi, fastcgi, or cli

Here's a backtrace from a Debug_TS build

I've confirmed this is also affecting Apache 2.0.x on Windows, as well. I can't try Apache 1.3.x on this machine, though.
 [2008-03-31 00:14 UTC] RQuadling at GMail dot com 
I sort of reported this earlier at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44039 but only seemed to get it to crash for ISAPI. CLI was OK.
 [2008-03-31 21:29 UTC] ghurtado at gmail dot com 
I experience the same exact problem on Windows XP SP2. Throwing any PHP Exception causes Apache 2.0.63 to crash, presumably due to a PHP process crash. I am using the latest snapshot of PHP 5.3 as of 3/31/2008. This same behaviour is also present in Apache 2.2.
 [2008-04-09 08:59 UTC] tony2001@php.net 
Not reproducible.
Both CLI(w/ and w/o ZTS enabled) and Apache2(prefork) work just fine, valgrind keeps silence.
Need more details to be able to reproduce it.
 [2008-04-09 22:02 UTC] mageofchrisz at gmail dot com 
Hi,

I'm also having this problem but I'm not sure what type of information I can provide that will aide in reproducing the crash. A simple snippet of "throw new Exception('Hello, Crash!');" causes Apache 2.2.8 to restart all its threads.

I'm not sure what I can do to help or provide more information. It's XP SP2 (all latest updates, ie6) on a windows domain. It's an Intel Pentium D 3.4GHz, 4GiB of RAM installed but only utilizes 3.25 of it.

Apache 2.2.8 runs with mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g.

If there's any more information I can provide please let me know. I've been trying to take the time to figure out how to compile a debug build but i've been busy with work-related stuff.

I can reproduce this bug as well. I first thought it was a SPL problem, but it happens whenever an exception is thrown. Apache 2.2 handler, win XP. I posted a trace here:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44546

PS: cli is ok, no bug there.
