If you suspect that that's the problem with your server, do what everyone else does: compile and run PHP as a CGI program, not as a DSO.
It is unfortunate. By using PHP as a CGI, you fix that problem, but lose a lot of the benefits of PHP as DSO, such as database connection pooling and being able to use Zend Optimizer. But if you're using PHP/MapScript that's just how it is.
I do have one workaround which suits us well at one site: We I figured out that it's the imgObj->draw() method that causes the freezes (in our use cases). We use PHP/MapScript extensively, but for the rendering we use shp2img via the `` operator. This gets around the freezing problem, as well as a few other bugs in draw() which we found unacceptable.
