My PHP extension has been tested on numerous platforms and I have only ever seen the PHP module initialization / deinitialization routines called once on startup / shutdown. Even if the actual PHP module is loaded and unloaded, do you call the (de)initialization routines for each (unl)load? I'm not sure this issue is the issue I'm seeing.
