Btw, it could be due to bad initialized data as well (as you experience
it on unix as well).
Can you try to run your script under valgrind too?

It looks to me in a bug at the number formatting in the Windows API (not
php dependent). Other users met this problem on old XP systems. You
could reproduce it using number_format only. Or maybe only with a single
printf function.
Can you try using another windows box or using 5.3.2-vc9 builds?
Btw, it is not about bad or good attitude but about having something we
can actually use to help you. I can understand your worries after having
spent hours to debug this problem, but we will still use a small script
to debug this problem, if any.

did you even LOOOKK at the script that I provided?
it is not that complicated. a few loops and some array allocations.
previous attempts to reduce this to anything simpler have been
unsuccessful.
this is exactly the attitude that causes me to be overwrought.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.
A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.
Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

oops, fixed.
various attempts to isolate this to a simple test case have not yet
succeeded. This program is the closest I've come to a simple test
case.
after many hours of working on this, what I can tell you is that it
requires lots of calculations and the use of arrays. - lots of memory
allocations.
yes, I confess to being overwrought. I've got 3 years of work, and the
future of my software company at stake with this bug. and a lot of
experience with bug reports that get ignored, including the original
entry for this bug.

It looks like the Web server you've posted the sample code to is
interpreting the PHP files, so it's impossible to get the source.
If you could upload the files with an extension that's not being
handled by your PHP module, that would be handy.
If there's any chance of a more minimal test case, that would also
be rather useful.
Finally, without wanting to sound overly snarky, that description
was about 1200 words too long and infinitely too overwrought.
Brevity is appreciated.
