programs taking too long to exit

[jmark]

I have PHP 5.2.1 running on Windows XP home. The problem I have is
that programs run in the command line are taking more than 10 minutes
to exit. Does anyone know a solution to this?

Make the program more efficient?

10 minutes might be good or bad. It's very bad for a program like:

<?php
echo "Hello, World!\n";
?>

Is could be very good for a program which does multiple searches on a
2GB database and creates a lot of reports.

Just to clarify what is happening. Any program is taking to long to
return to command prompt.
that is even if I have
<?php
echo "Hello, World!\n";
?>

It will print Hello Word but does not return to command prompt until
after 10 minutes.
Adding an exit statement does not help. Pressing ctrl-c or ctrl-break
does not force the program to exit.

Hmmm, that's a strange one. I've never heard of anything like that.
Have you checked out your PHP.INI file? Perhaps you have an extension
which is causing you problems, for instance.

I'd suggest starting with a very minimal php.ini file (i.e. no
extensions, etc.) and see what that gets you.

Also, what's going on at that time? Is the program taking any CPU time,
for instance?

Did it do this with a different version of PHP?

But the fact you can't even Ctrl-C to get out of it indicates to me it's
more of a Windows problem than PHP. Windows should be able to cancel
the program.

P.S. Please don't top post.
