I know the code is wrong, but php.exe shouldn't crash.
I've got the Standard binary distribution for Win32 running as CGI binary from the standard Apache binary distribution.

W2K error message:
"php-exe - Application Error
The instruction at 0x1004cbb3" referenced memory at 0x5b0a0d0a". The memory could not be 'read'. Click OK to terminate the program"

Sorry; no gdb backtrace...

Thanks for doing great work!

FYI: I could not reproduce this with Linux/4.0.6.

Reproduced with PHP-4.0.6 on Win98.

You can even simplify the code: 
<?php strtok('foo'); ?>

The problem is that you may not call strtok the first time without the second argument. If you do, it will crash, no matter what the first argument is.

This should really be fixed before 4.0.7 comes out (if it's not already fixed in CVS, I can't test it right now).

FYI: couldn't reproduce with current CVS under W2K

Marked as critcal, and checking this out.

Works fine here on Win 2k, 4.0.6 and latest CVS.

There were a lot of changes to this file since PHP 4.0.6. Can you test it with a snapshot from (http://www.php4win.com/builds/latest-build.php) ?

PHP-4.0.8-dev crashes (the latest build from php4win, 2001-10-04).
PHP-4.0.7RC1 works fine. I don't have access to a more recent version of PHP-4.0.7, as I can't build Windows versions myself (yet).

Tested on Win2K.

FYI: A freshly compiled 4.0.7RC3 doesn't crash either (on Win2K).

Let's not assign this to me, as I've no Windows box to test.
