Once in a while we all (well some of us anyways) will slap our forhead as we watch our web browser wait for an infinite loop to finish.  The problem we're having is that the infinite loops in PHP do not time-out.  The php.exe process takes up over 90% of the CPU thus rendering our server very slow.  I tried just force-quitting the process but I get an access violation error.  So we have to reboot the machine.  I know this is our fault and deserve a kick when we do this (we usually get that kick) but would it be possible kill the process after an X amount of seconds?  There's a timeout variable in php.ini but it's labelled as Unix only.

We are using IIS 4.0 as webserver. (ick)
