Description:
------------
Only TS builds are affected.

Assuming this in my "php.ini:
| extension = "nonexistent.dll"

is resulting in a crash.

(6cc.1260): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance)
First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
This exception may be expected and handled.
eax=01b810c0 ebx=584f9674 ecx=00000000 edx=0802fb7c esi=01cf2858 edi=01cf2858

58207620 8b4204          mov     eax,dword ptr [edx+4] ds:0023:0802fb80=????????


BTW:
Using "dl('nonexistent.dll');" in a script is working as expected. Also with NTS builds there is no problem.


Test script:
---------------
in the shell:
php -v

Expected result:
----------------
| Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
| 'C:\Program Files\PHP\php-current\ext\nonexistent.dll'

Or no error with "display_startup_errors = Off"

Actual result:
--------------
CLI has stopped working

Still exists in 5.3.6RC3.

Something I just realized:

With the default "display_startup_errors = Off" there is immediately a crash. 

With "display_startup_errors = On" you first have a "Warning" message box "PHP Startup: Unable to load ...". Now the behavior depends on how fast you click on "OK".:
- If you click fast on "OK" there is a crash.
- If you click slow on "OK" there is no "crash" (no message "CLI has stopped working). But also no output with the version infos (parameter -v in this example).
