Reproducable with PHP 5.2.9-1 on Windows2003 Server with Apache2.2
Workaround with calling session_write_close() before calling exec()
confirmed working
NOT reproducable with PHP 5.2.1 on Windows 2000 Server with IIS5
anyway, seems to be a duplicate of Bug#44942

same problem here, php 5.2.9, w2k3, IIS: shell_exec hanging on
production server but not on development server. Can't do downgrade to
5.1.x.

I have the same issue as well. I use the exec() function to
simultaneously upload files and sometimes cmd.exe freezes and all
following uploads fail.
I run on a Windows 2003 Server using Apache 2.2.11 and PHP 5.2.9
Looking forward to hearing a solution.

Hi all,
I can fully confirm the above behaviour on the Windows platform. We are
using Apache FOP to create PDF-Files out of PHP, so we are invoking
exec() to start the command line FOP processor.
With several versions of PHP 5.2.x (5.2.4, 5.2.6, 5.2.8), this problem
occurs soon as more than one user is invoking the exec().
Luckily we could not reproduce this behaviour using PHP 5.1.x, so
downgrading to a 5.1.x version might also be an option for you.
Regards
alex

Same problems on w2k3 server x64 SP2 with apache 2.2.8 + 2.2.11 and
php 5.2.0 up to 5.2.8 -> using exec() the shellproc cmd.exe hangs and
httpd is blocked for further ops, can just be cured by restart of apache
services. Workaround with COM object helps, but thats no lucky
solution...
