php-cgi.exe quits after exactly 500 hits

Question

For the life of me, I can\'t figure this out.

This is my development machine setup:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit,
Webserver: NGINX 1.3.6 c:\\users\\user

Answer 1

unvisible EXE file that will LOOP-RUN php-cgi.exe with passing it own command-line params, can be easily compiled in, for example, ms-VCpp6 (phpCgiExeLoop.exe ~28kb):

#include 
#include 
#include "stdio.h"

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                     LPSTR     lpCmdLine,      int       nCmdShow)
{   while (1)
    {   SHELLEXECUTEINFO shExInfo = {0};
        shExInfo.cbSize = sizeof(shExInfo);
        shExInfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;   shExInfo.hwnd = 0;
        shExInfo.lpVerb = "open";            // Operation to perform
        shExInfo.lpFile = "php-cgi.exe";     // Application to start    
        shExInfo.lpParameters = lpCmdLine;   // Additional parameters
        shExInfo.lpDirectory = 0;            shExInfo.nShow = SW_HIDE;
        shExInfo.hInstApp = 0;  

        if (ShellExecuteEx(&shExInfo))
        {   WaitForSingleObject(shExInfo.hProcess, INFINITE);
            CloseHandle(shExInfo.hProcess);
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

and running "phpCgiExeLoop -b 127.0.0.1:9000" instead of "php-cgi.exe -b 127.0.0.1:9000" ...to win-support php creators intention (avoiding possible memory-leaks).
