[wp-hackers] Memory Space Changed Simultaneously

[Computer Guru]

Thanks for the reply,

Auto-prepend is an option is php.ini that allows you to "auto-include" any
file of your choice to _every single_ php file served.
I use this feature to include a quickie-script that fixes the value of
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] on IIS servers to be exactly like that on LAMP -
it's LGPL'd code.
I wrote about it before here: http://neosmart.net/blog/?p=291

Anyway, the code is very clean and bug-free (it's virtually hello-world
easy), and only under times of really heavy load, I get that error with
reference to the auto-include .inc file. The only thing I can think of is
that it's a memory-sharing/access write violation, because afterwards PHP
dies (it keeps giving that error), until IIS is restarted.
