A VC6 extension is not compatible with a VC9 build (or the other way round). It crashes randomly depending on what the extension does (xdebug for one is really good for this test :). PHP 5.3 will provide VC9 and VC6 builds, we need such a safety check to avoid too much pain for our users and us (I already get many bogus reports about people using VC6 extensions with VC9 builds, or VC9 extensions with VC6 builds). By the way, VS2008 Express is free and 100% compatible with a normal VS2008. You may use it so you can use our VC9 builds directly or provide extensions for it.
