Bringing back this question from a different angle...

So, we know that PHP MapScript has some thread safety issues when used with PHP 
as a DSO module.  In my limited understanding of how it works, a DSO module is 
loaded into memory when Apache starts, ready to accept multiple different 
requests, and this permanent state is where the thread safety issues come from.

So, what about mapserv fastcgi?  Isn't this also loaded once, and processes 
multiple requests?

What about PHP as a fastcgi?  If it's the mapserver-PHP code that has the 
thread safety problem, would PHP as a fastcgi have similar problems as PHP-DSO?
