Hi,

Trying to compile current php-5.2-dev on Windows using the new VC++ 8.0
(2005). PHP compiles without problems but on startup ends up in and
endless loop at around line 768 of zend_alloc.c. `rand()` and do...while()
never exit there.

If I disable ZEND_MM_COOKIES PHP starts up fine.

Edin

Thanks for the heads-up. We are planning to work on changing this magic #
generation this week anyway, so hopefully your problem will go away with the
improvements.
