[PHP-DEV] register_shutdown_function() question in regards to bug #8395 From: Chris Newbill (cnewbill <email protected>)
Date: 12/26/00

Been chatting with Oriol. I'd like to run this buy everyone and see if my
assumption is correct. Please see http://bugs.php.net?id=8395 for more
info.

My comments from a previous email.

I'm not quite sure this is really a bug, I was not able to reproduce it
except for on Windows 2000/Apache 1.3.14. His production environment is
Redhat ?.? with PHP running as a CGI. I have duplicated this environment
and not been able to reproduce the problem.
