I've narrowed the bad code down to this:

[START]
<?php
session_start();
?> 
<html>
<body>
Hello!
</body>
</html>
[END]

When I try to go to this page a pop-op message is displayed that says: 

"php.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close."

And it gives you the option to send a report to Microsoft.  This is the standard program crash message for XP.  I select "Don't Send" and then the following error appears in the browser:

[START]
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
[END]

SYSTEM:
I am using PHP 4.1.1, IIS5 and Windows XP.  I've installed the php.exe in IIS with extension .php, "All Verbs" selected, "Script Engine" checked, and "Check that file exists" checked.

SUMMARY:
I've check the other bug reports with this similiar error, but they are reporting the problem with use of header() calls.

In the code, if I comment out the session_start() it works fine.  I also have tried this script in Virtual and non-Virtual directories on IIS - both return the error.

I have other fairly complex scripts running on this server (that don't use sessions) that are working fine.

Any ideas?

Very likely to be caused by and incorrect session_savepath. If that's not the case, reopen this report.

This bug has already been fixed in CVS.
