It's a bug. spoke to Rasmus at some length about just before i posted it in the bug report.
The online help page is inaccurate in describing the full functionality of the function: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.register-shutdown-function.php REGISTER_SHUTDOWN_FUNCTION() is suppose to kick-off when any one of the following things happen -- Exit, Error, TIMEOUT or User Abort. According to Rasmus, the TIMEOUT functionality of this function works fine under Linux -- however, it's not working under Win32 ! There apparently is another bug with this function -- you are suppose to be able to call more than one REGISTER_SHUTDOWN_FUNCTION(), and they are suppose to executed in-order... some people are reporting that only the first encountered REGISTER_SHUTDOWN_FUNCTION() is executed, then the script exits. Someone needs to go through this function, pretty thoroughly, and get it working correctly. Being able to run code on a timeout, user-abort or error is critical.
