For early consumers versions of Windows (95, 98, ME) I wouldn't recommend running a process for that long if you rely on it. For NT-based versions, including consumer editions, there should be no problems in running scripts for as long as you like. This particular bug report was against Windows 2000 Server, which should have no problems. I would heavily dispute the statement that it's definitely the OS and not PHP - there are plenty of processes that run happily for months on W2K Server.
