New Comment:
I have also experienced this problem on debian linux kernel 2.6.22.6-1-amd64 /
php 5.3.8 / apache 2.2.11
It seems like the problem stems from php running multiple similar/same commands.
The session_write_close() fix did nothing for me, but a sleep(2) (2 might be
relative to the execution time of the command, in my case a ping with a timeout
of 1) after exec(), seems to alleviate the problem, but not completely solving
it.
Hope that helps somebody

WinXP Home SP3
XAMPP with:
PHP 5.3.8 built Aug 23, 2011
Apache 2.2.21 built Sep 10, 2011
This problem occurs with proc_open(), exec(), and popen().
Once a child process hangs, PHP in new page requests continues to run fine
unless I call proc_open(), exec(), popen(), or session_start().
The problem ceases to occur when I call session_write_close() before my call to
proc_open(), exec(), or popen().
I'm on a team of 6 developers, and we are running this on Linux, Mac, and
several versions of Windows, but we've only seen this problem on Windows XP.
This is happening on a complex application using a large framework. I intend to
post a straightforward test script later.

What do you see exactly? Can you provide a small script and the cmd you use to
test?

I am still seeing this issue on PHP 5.3.8. I am running the site on Windows
2k3 sp3 and Apache 2.2.

Fixed in 5.3.x

Testing on PHP v5.3.1 (installed with XAMPP), I'm able to run 50 concurrent
popen requests without any fault. All processes terminate after completion.
I understand that the popen() and exec() were both experiencing this issue in
the past, the 5.3.x line seems to resolve the issue.
