If that's any help, I'm using a COM object as a workaround for this
bug, and while it makes this bug appear less frequently, it still
happens, randomly, from time to time.

Here's what i did as a workaround using the exec() function call:

$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
$OutputFile = "C:\\Temp\\output.txt"; 
                
$Command = "cmd /C MyApp.exe > $OutputFile";
$WshShell->Run( $Command, 0, true );

file_get_contents( $OutputFile ) );   
                
unlink( $OutputFile );

Same Problem here with an commandline-script calling other
php-commandline-scripts. It seems to happen more frequently if you have
a lot of exec-calls.

Sorry, I take that last comment back, it still hangs annoyingly
intermittently with shell_exec as well. It's a killer :(

PS: shell_exec() DOES seem to work without hanging on my setup, but
none of the others.

I am experiencing this same problem with PHP 5.2.1 running on IIS as an
ISAPI module on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2. Intermitently (a handful of
times in a hundred) a process started with exec() will appear to
complete ok but remain running in a zombie state. The IIS worker process
that created the process will not respond to any further requests. I
need to either open a new client browser or kill the worker process.

I get the same result with system, passthru, p_open and proc_open.

php5.2.6 running as fcgi
