I cannot say anything for Mac OS in this respect. But at least for Linux running Apache in the classical pre-fork MPM I did not experience problems with PHP-MapScript running as an Apache DSO. Also some stress tests with benchmarking using multiple WMS requests with on MapScript OWS as server backend did not cause problems.

I sometimes noticed some irregular, strange, and difficult to reproduce problems with MS 6.0 and PHP Mapscript (Apache or CGI segfaults), but that was independent of PHP with Apache DSO or as CGI, and this never ever happened with MS 5.x.

along with my MapServer package.

Is this still a problem?  Maybe I missed a fix for this?  Or is it being worked 
on (or not being worked on)?  Or is it an unsolvable problem (maybe due to the 
nature of a DSO)?

I'm thinking about simplifying my OS X GIS/carto stack and dropping my PHP-CGI 
package in favor of the OS X system PHP-DSO (a bit old) or some other 
better-maintained PHP package for OS X (which will likely be a DSO).
