This bug occurs with Mod_PHP4.2.1 under apache.
When htmlentities is called with ENT_QUOTES as the second parameter and without a third parameter (I didn't test _with_ a third parameter) the script's output stops right at that point.

I am not the machines administrator and hence cannot supply further details.

I can not reproduce this. Can you see if apache crashes, and if yes make a backtrace?
And can you provide a short reproducing script?

A very short reproduction script:

<?php
for ($i = 0; $i < 1000; $i++)
  echo "$i\n";
echo htmlentities ('hello world!', ENT_QUOTES);
?>
When called from the browser, this script yields all values van 0 to 984, then stops. The fact that the values from 985 to 999 are missing would indicate that apache doesn't get to flush its buffers (and has indeed crashed).

As i am not the systems admin, I cannot find out much more. I can see that the server process doesn't crash as a whole, but it might be possible that a thread crashes (if that is even possible under SunOS; under linux a crashing thread takes down the process as well)
You can see this happening at http://www.scheltema.nl/test.php

I still can not reproduce this on Linux with PHP 4.1.x, 4.2.x or 4.3.0-dev on Linux and 4.2.0 on Sun OS 5.8/intel all in both CLI and apache module.

Which version of apache do you use, and which platform do you have? (sparc or intel)

This is one of the header in the server's http response:

Server: Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) PHP/4.2.1 mod_ssl/2.8.9 
OpenSSL/0.9.6d

`uname -a` yields:
SunOS vhost-01.cust.asmr-01.energis-idc.net 5.8 
Generic_108528-13 sun4u sparc

How may I find out which options were used when building 
MOD_PHP?

Greetings,
Pieter.

Make a script with  <?php phpinfo(); ?> and request it through your browser, it should show it in the top section (configure command).

OK, I placed the suggested script on the server we're 
talking about:
