I'm running MediaWiki 1.9.3 on a dual core Windows

RAM, with Apache 2.2.4 and PHP 5.2.1. (Actually it's a VMware virtual
machine.) A few times each day we get this error in the Windows error
log:
Faulting application httpd.exe, version 2.2.4.0, faulting module
php5ts.dll, version 5.2.1.1, fault address 0x0000ae66
I have solved the problem by upgrading PHP to the latest snapshot of 5.2
from
snaps.php.net. Thanks to Tim Starling for suggesting to try other
software versions.
To validate the solution, I wrote a script to hit MediaWiki's
"Special:Random" page with "wget" 1000 times, and ran 3 of them
simultaneously. No errors. Repeated the test. No errors.
I restored the old PHP 5.2.1 and ran the scripts, and got an error in
the first 10 seconds.
Case closed (and rejoicing).
