Loading array via file(). File is 4Mb of text. Bang, PHP died.

I increased PHP memory from 8 MB to 20 Mb but did not fix it. I cut the file down to about 10Kb but that did not fix it. When I comment out the line containing file(), that removes the problem.

I thought it might not be file(), it might be any part of the code that uses the array so I commented out file() and inserted statements that manually load the array with data. The script ran to completion using the manual array.

gdb backtrace is gobbledygook to me. I am reading your documentation page to see if any of it is relevant to Windows environment. If your page helps me change my php setup to produce additional diagnostics, I will add them to this report.

Apache is the latest Apache 1.14 or something from about 3 weeks ago. PHP is PHP 4.0.4 from the large download file. NT 4.0 SP6a running without a hitch for 6 months. The code I am working on was working in the middle of last year on a PHP3 downloaded in the middle of last year.
