On the linux side, mod_php plus any sort of op-code caching (eaccelerator, APC, etc) all end up doing this after a little load. The only long term "fix" I know of is to run php using fastcgi. However, another solution is to have a script monitor the apache error logs for the segmentation faults, at which point it restarts apache completely. I do this now, and it works well. You can probably script a similar thing on windows. --Victor -- http://www.victortrac.com
