Description:
When translating some strings to Japanese or Chinese (and possibly other multibyte character sets) php will start using 100% CPU time and never exit. 

I acutally use the latest stable win32 snapshot from snaps.php.net and this problem has definatly been reproducable for the last week with the builds from there.

The same is from for CGI or Apache Module

My System:
Windows 2000 Pro SP2
Dual Athlon XP (I haven't tried removing a CPU to see if it's a dual CPU issue yet)
Apache
PHP 4.2.4-dev (http://www.graftonhall.co.nz/test.php for php info screen)

I am happy to supply more examples or test builds.

How to reproduce:
the file http://www.graftonhall.co.nz/temp/gettext/gettext.zip contains a test script and a single japanese translation that will cause this effect. The .mo and .po files are there. 

The script included is:
<?php
$lang='ja_JP';
@putenv('LANG=' . $lang);
@putenv('LANGUAGE=' . $lang);
setlocale(LC_ALL, $lang);

// Specify location of translation tables
bindtextdomain("broken", './locale');

// Choose domain
textdomain("broken");

echo _("Birthday");

?>

Oops..accidently clicked the url to close this..nothing was fixed in related to this. :I

Anyway, that url to that .zip package doesn't seem to work..at least not for me..is it correct?

Sorry. My webserver died for a few hours. Just got a new motherboard in and I can basically confirm it is hardware independant. Now on a single Athlon XP and still the same problem.

Same URL will now work.
