Those are functions used by the actual PHP developers to communicate with the Zend engine (which itself communicates with the OS/CPU). You don't call those functions and can't affect them. This sounds like a very obscure bug with PHP on windows. I can't remember if you are running the latest version of PHP (4.3.1 or 4.3.2 RC 1). If not, please try it using that version of PHP to see if you can still reproduce the problem. If so, please file a bug report at http://bugs.php.net/ A quick search didn't pull up anything related to your issue. The only recent entry related to erealloc is for 4.2.3 on Windows: <http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=20913> But it doesn't necessarily seem applicable. Unless you're running out of memory? Or maybe the server can't handle all the connections? If so, you could try sleeping for a second every 10 times through the loop, etc, to slow down the process and maybe keep it from dying. Hope that helps.
