From https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/Passthru%28%29 Trying to install MediaWiki 1.19.7... Can't pass the first screen (Language selection) of the Configuration Script because of PHP error: PHP Warning: passthru() [<a href='function.passthru'>function.passthru</a>]: Unable to fork [""C:\Windows\system32\convert.exe" -version"] in E:\<hidden>\GlobalFunctions.php on line 2857 My host doesn't allow exec(), passthru() or system().
marking for backport when a patch is available.

Mark, you flagged this as needing backport: can you also submit a patch for consideration with the "solution" above? I don't see any other patch mentioned in the wiki threads.
So, I don't have time to work on this but I'm marking it for review here at the hackathon.
Removing target milestone that was in the past. If you want this in a specific release, have a good reason AND you are willing to find resources to fix this bug, feel free to change it to something appropriate.
