Hi,

Please help, after a 72 hour debugging session my mind feels dimished 
past the size of a dustmite-parasite.

Call me stupid if you want.

Can you give me some extra tips on debugging PHP, threads, lists, etc.. 
and how i can track the flow of the shutdown of a script execution/timeout.

The Ifx extension doesn't always close the connection to an Informix 
database after ifx_close(), and what are the odds of being attached to 
the specific sessions which this happens in when it's more random then a 
bag of M&M's.

Is it possible that:

    *  the resource list gets dtor'd, while the ifx connection is quite
      busy and can't disconnect right away, but the resource still gets
      whacked from the list ? or will the dtor wait for the resource
      destructor to finish ?
    * another ZEND_FETCH_RESOURCE() is called during a destructor
      function or do mutexes prevent this ?

How is it possible that:

    * ifx_connect() can find a connection from another sessions
      EG(regular_list) ? i thaught EG(regular_list) is private to each
      session ?


Thanks,
Corne'
