I agree; we can't deprecate dl(). There are some very common legitimate cases where it is really useful, such as loading extensions that are not often needed into a CGI (you don't want those in php.ini as they can slow down your process startup).
I agree, but perhaps we should make it clearer that using dl() in general is not the recommended way of using modules, because of the performance penalty and security implications. Changing the recommended setting of enable_dl is a first step.
AFAIK and see the crash occurs only in debug mode.
The crash that started this thread had to do with modules being unloaded, both in debug and release builds. This has already been fixed.
