Not necessarily a glitch. The whole problem with the registration of server cleanup functions was that whether it would cause a problem/hang/crash was random. It just depended on what the Apache child process was doing at the time the signal came from the parent process to shut it down. In some respects the Win32 platform would have fared a bit better than UNIX as on Win32 a signal handler is actually executed as a distinct thread where as on UNIX it just suspends all running code and then blindly executes the signal handler code. We still need to disable the server cleanup execution, it just has too much potential for problems.
