 Replying to [comment:10 datallah]:
 > If the php folks recommend that you put the directory containing that
 dll in your PATH, then you should file a ticket asking them to rename the
 dll to avoid this "Dll Hell" type of situation.

 They don't, however it's a convenient way to have a CLI available without
 having to manually cd to the executable path each time.

 Thanks for taking the time to clear things a bit. I removed php from the
 %PATH%, and now all's back to its normal state. That still probably leaves
 some people with a crashing Pidgin. I use Pidgin and php for years and
 this problem is fairly new: since php 5.2.7 I believe, released on early
 December.
