I had difficulty finding the newest version of php_apc.dll so I went ahead and compiled it myself. I had no issue getting it compiled using NTS v5.3.8. I had two separate files set up to test, one with a simple phpinfo() call on it and the other being the standard apc.php file that comes with the apc source files.
Strangely, when I would load the phpinfo() file it would work totally fine, but when I tried to access apc.php the webserver would hang until a timeout. I restarted the webserver, accessed apc.php and it worked just fine, but trying to go back to phpinfo() would cause the server to hang until timeout. It is probably worth noting that phpmyadmin and my own codeigniter application do not work period, even after a restart.
I have tried previous versions of apc with no luck; 5.3.5 with apc.stat = 0 works but I am in need of that feature as this is a development server, but I'm testing out some production type caching.
Noteworthy stuff: Server is powered by Nginx 1.0.8 running PHP 5.3.8 (using fast-cgi). Everything works as intended with the exception of when apc is loaded.
