Description:
------------
Not sure if this is PHP or Apache (or both), but upgrading PHP beyond 5.3.0 or Apache beyond 2.2.11 causes Apache to refuse to start (using Apache module). Apache log has '[crit] (OS 6)The handle is invalid.  : master_main: create child process failed. Exiting.', but I'm not sure if its related or not.

I've tried virtually every combination of PHP > 5.3.0 and Apache > 2.2.11. Tried on two different machines and several different OSes (XP professional SP3, 2k3 enterprise sp2 and 2k3 standard sp2). I had a friend try an XAMMP package on his machine a while back and it had exactly the same issue. I usually do a standard installation (defaults except for phpmanual and an install path of w:\php)

I'm going to raise a bug on the Apache bug tracker as well since I really don't know which package is at fault.

I am confident with computers (though programming is not my field) so feel free to ask for further information, and I'll do my best to provide it. I am only able to test on Win XP Pro, as my 2k3 standard system is a production server, and I don't currently have a 2k3 enterprise machine

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.

It seems to no longer occur with PHP 5.3.2 although it did last time I tried it (a month or so ago) and when it first was released (tested on Apache 2.2.13 and 2.2.14 at the time). It still occurs with 5.3.1, however, so I have attached backtraces from tests with that version and the following version matrix:


Apache 2.2.11	2.2.13	2.2.14	2.2.15
PHP
5.3.0    W	   W	  W	  W
5.3.1	 NW	   NW	  NW	  NW
5.3.2	 W	   W	  W	  W

W = working
NW = not working

Apache 2.2.11:

apache log:

Hi, your backtrace doesn't seem to include all of it, like the application entry point at main(), is there any chance you can get those remaining trace bits?

The only information in the backtraces that I didn't paste was:

Type of Analysis Performed   Crash Analysis 
Machine Name   SARABI 
Operating System   Windows XP Service Pack 3 
Number Of Processors   2 
Process ID   516 
Process Image   C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin\httpd.exe 
System Up-Time   05:46:54 
Process Up-Time   00:00:03 


There's an entry point in the backtraces (already pasted) but nothing about main()
