I am trying to simulate a file writing on a busy site. I have written a following code which eventually end up freezing computer.

```
$loop = 10000;
$sleep = 500000;
$i =0;

while($i < $loop) {

    $mtime = microtime();
    $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime);
    $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0];
    $starttime = $mtime; 

    $handler = fopen($file,"a+");
    if($handler) {
    if (flock($handler, LOCK_EX)) {
        $mtime = microtime();
        $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime);
        $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0];
        $endtime = $mtime;
        $totaltime = ($endtime - $starttime); 

        fwrite($handler,"Script 1 took $totaltime secs\n");
    }

    flock($handler, LOCK_UN);
    fclose($handler);
}
$i++;
usleep($sleep);
}

```

I can't use LOCK\_NB because it will not work on windows. The code works fine if there are less than 13 processes execute the above code at the same. How do I cope with this deadlock situation?
