    Well that might be the problem in your case. PHP itself is thread safe,
    but there's no guarantee that the extensions are. In fact, I think a
    good few of them are not (ming comes to mind, IIRC). In your case, the
    killer may be the extensions and not PHP itself. I'd suggest compiling
    them as modules and then dl()ing them until PHP dies ;). There's
    probably also a list of non-thread-safe modules out there somewhere. But
    I fear the list Gods, so I'm not going to change this list to
    freebsd-php :) If you've got more questions, feel free to email me
    privately :)
