PHP 5.2.13 on Windows XP SP3 w/ Apache (PHP as a module) is crashing for me. I've tried to create a simple test case to reproduce but I'm not able to. Any hints/tips or a guide on how to debug this would be highly appreciated. I'm not adverse to debuggers and I have VS2008 Professional on this machine.
The system I'm writing is quite complex so I'm not too surprised that I finally ran into a crash bug but tracing this one has me baffled. I used my traditional "when all else fails start displaying junk on the screen" approach to trace the problem to a new function I just wrote today but it crashes somewhere before the function call itself (i.e. it never makes it into the function) - the caller of the function is also a function. Both functions are in the global scope.
Apache log:
<A few zillion entries before this one exist that are identical except for the timestamp and child process ID.>
