Ken: What's W95-specific about it?
Help:
+ * There are several PRs reporting Apache looping and they each seem to
+ implicate CGI script processing. The first PR happened about the time
+ we migrated to using native Win32 function calls to create the child
+ process. I have tried to recreate the problem w/o success. It just now
+ occurs to me that there may be a race condition between when the new
+ process comes alive and the parent sending data to (or attempting to
+ read data from) the child process. CreateProcess() returns immediately,
+ before the new process is created. The parent may be attempting I/O
+ with the child before it's ready. TODO: investigate ways to cause the
+ parent to wait for the child process to become fully active before
+ proceeding with CGI I/O processing.
* should trap ^C when running not-as-service and do proper shutdown
