On win32 systems with  versions of php higher than 3.0.6, the popen() function seems to be broken or
simply not there. PHP returns the error
Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function popen() in c:\inetpub\wwwroot/encrypt.php3 on line 17

This has been tested on 2 local systems, one NT server system running IIS 4 and one 98 system, running PWS 4.0.

for a script example, ANY call to popen() will produce this error.

It's (inadvertantly) called _popen() under Windows because of some
#define yuckiness.

Still scratching my head on how to best fix this for future releases..

Fixed in CVS.
