Summary

190: Workaround on Apache hang under Windows

Description

Hello,

I'm using SourceSVN under Windows with an Apache server and have noticed that while an import takes place, no one can work with Mantis anymore until the import is finished which can take a very long time.
Looking around, I found it's a "bug/feature" in PHP and Apache under Windows as can be seen here:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44942 [^]
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44994 [^]

There is a feature request for a lock free exec:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43588 [^]

But until it is implemented, there is the risk of stumbling across this problem quite often.
Inside the php manual, there is this suggestion:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php#99781 [^]

which I have implemented in the attached patch.
It allows me to continue to browse the issues while an import is taking place, and I could not notice any adverse side effects of this change.
