As I tried to explain, my application needs GD to generate graphics and I already had some code in there to work around the quirks of PHP4.0.5 and PHP4.0.6 that had different GD libraries. Most of the users of my application don't want to and a lot of times cannot install another module / extension on the webserver. Anyway, my point here is to try to get more people to read this thread and whenever the time for 4.2 comes, we have developers thinking more about the compatibility issues of the Windows version of PHP. It's kind of hard to write portable stuff like this, ya know :) Oh well.
