From: wez@thebrainroom.com (Wez Furlong) It could be PHP looking for the per-directory configuration settings from the registry. (PHP makes the accesses in read-only mode, but the registry might be doing something funky to handle locking). OR, it could be a dll that is loaded by one of your PHP extensions. Have you tried using a tool such as regmon to spy on it? http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/regmon.shtml --Wez.
