Memory leak occurs when exec() function is used on Windows platform

["melmack" <melmack3@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I have a big problem with shell commands execution via PHP.
I have written a very short PHP script ilustrating the problem:


<?php


for($i=0;$i<1000;$i++)
{ 
  exec("test.bat"); 



} 


?> 

test.bat is just an empty file. 


This script causes about 10 MB memory leak. It can be observed 
by usage of performance system monitor. This problems occurs in 
all available enviroments: 
- IIS Webserver. 
- Apache webserver 
- PHP command line interpreter 


Memory leak is observable only on Windows platform 
(tested on Windows XP). On Linux everything works OK. 


Does someone know how to solve this problem? Any help appreciated 


Best regards 
Melmack
