Description:
------------
On 2 different windows servers I have, php just crashes silently if I try to set any value at all for CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS. 

If I have the line:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, someIntegerHere);

PHP just dies when it gets to that line. If I comment it out, the script works fine. It looks like php_curl.dll hasn't been changed in a while so I'm stumped. It works just fine on my redhat box.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
	print("Hi!\n");
        $ch = curl_init("http://www.example.com/");
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, 5);
	print("Running curl_exec()...\n");
        curl_exec($ch); 
	print("Done!\n");
	$daErr = curl_error($ch);
	print_r($daErr);
	curl_close($ch); 
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Hi!
Running curl_exec()...

Try making the errors show up by setting error_reporting = E_ALL and display_errors = On..

Those options were both already what you suggested. I just verified them.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows (zip):
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip

For Windows (installer):

  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-installer-latest.msi

Works fine for me on Linux, could be an issue with an old libcurl or 
something win32 specific. A backtrace would be super-useful in this 
case.

I have exactly the same problem on a server running Centos 5 with WHM/cPanel-11.  It's a brand new machine and is being readied for service with the latest stable versions of everything it needs. PHP is version 5.2.4

All error warnings are on, even notice and strict ones. CURL works fine with the "curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, someIntegerHere);" line removed, but otherwise fails silently. And you know how long they take to find!

This bug is still there in PHP 5.2.6 on Windows XP.
Calling 
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, 10); 
will crash PHP silently. So no errors are returned which makes it very hard to indentify the bug.

There is no problem with this on a Linux machine.
