zend_strndup is a php implementation.  It does not use the strndup function
available through MS's library.  The problem occurs because a length of
1000000 or more is passed in, signifying to me that the source of that
length has become corrupted or not initialized.  I've traced that back to
the global_constants_table structure.  I no longer get the specific error
mentioned in the bug report, but get an error in the same location under the
same circumstances.  My error looks like the following:

The HTTP server encountered an unhandled exception while processing the

'.

Of course I'm using the Release_TSDbg version of php4isapi rather than a
release, so that's why I have a stack trace.  All of this is with the
current PHP_4_2_0 release branch.
