This isn't a new error - I've found multiple references to it when running PHP CLI on Windows Vista and Windows 7 that go back a number of years.

It's latest non-beta version includes PHP version 5.2.6. I just tried the latest beta version of MS4W, which includes PHP version 5.6.3, and this no longer has the problem.
