Description:
------------
Apache2 crashes after upgrading to PHP 4.4.2.  THe following is found in the Apache's error log.

[Sat Jan 14 12:15:11 2006] [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting.
[Sat Jan 14 12:15:12 2006] [notice] Apache/2.0.55 (Win32) PHP/4.4.2 configured -- resuming normal operations
[Sat Jan 14 12:15:12 2006] [notice] Server built: Oct  9 2005 19:16:56
[Sat Jan 14 12:15:12 2006] [notice] Parent: Created child process 3700
[Sat Jan 14 12:15:14 2006] [notice] Child 3700: Child process is running
[Sat Jan 14 12:15:14 2006] [notice] Child 3700: Acquired the start mutex.
[Sat Jan 14 12:15:14 2006] [notice] Child 3700: Starting 250 worker threads.

This only happens on my production system where MySQL is also installed.  Everything works as expected on the test machine (which connects  to the production database server).

Reproduce code:
---------------
All of my PHP apps crash.  Unfortunately, the index.php files are quite large.  I have not yet isolated the offending code but I wanted to enter a bug report since before others upgrade since 4.4.2 is a new release.

Expected result:
----------------
Page returned as expected without Apache2 crashing.

Actual result:
--------------
Browser shows the entire page but is still waiting for additional input.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

The latest version of PHP5 did not exhibit the problem.  
Unfortunately, I have web sites that are not PHP5 compatible.  The ones that are compatible with PHP5 worked fine.

The original assumption was bogus.  The crash is independent of MySQL.  There were differences between my test and production systems that I did not detect at first.

The problem is actually an issue with fopen().

Here is some code to reproduce:

<?php
$url="http://www.php.net";

$xhtml = '';
if($filehandle = @fopen($url, 'rb')) {
	$xhtml = fread($filehandle, 4096);
	fclose($filehandle);

	echo "$xhtml";
}
?>

This can be run either from the command line or as a webpage.  In both cases, PHP crashes.

Everthing works as expected when using the latest version of PHP5.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes. To
find out how to generate a backtrace, please read
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php for *NIX and
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace-win32.php for Win32

Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug
report and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for helping
us make PHP better.

We don't really support threaded webservers either...

PS: you've right, this problem only happend with threaded-webservers (Apache2-worker)
 [2006-01-15 22:43 UTC] info at ready2host dot de
I have experienced the bug on SuSE Linux 9.3 (32bit) with Apache 2.0.55 in worker mode. PHP is also compiled as thread-safe. My reproduction code:

<?php

file_get_contents('http://www.php.net/');

?>
