No, I'm not doing anything with Pear (just haven't gotten around to
it).

I did the same thing you did, installed into a separate directory and
fixed all the references in the webserver, and have deleted any PHP
4.3 files from the Windows/System folder.

Luckily it doesn't appear to be a big security problem as it only
displays the access violation in the browser window (no paths or
anything). A reboot fixes it until I do something like refreshing POST
data a few times again. Until I get the problem resolved, I don't
refresh POST data anymore on that server.

The frustrating thing is that the "crash" doesn't show up in any logs.
Even the Windows system logs.

I also didn't do any major changes from the default php.ini except to
enable some extensions I needed, set up the SMTP stuff, and that's
really about it.

I am running 5.0.3 on other servers (various web servers and MySQL
versions, but all Windows), and am not experiencing this problem. The
only difference with those servers is that 5.0.3 was installed fresh
(no previous PHP). I'm wondering if I missed one of the extension
files somewhere from 4.3.
