"Un-handled" exceptions are easy to handle.  I have a try-catch on the call
for each page.  So individual pages are clobbered as on any other platform.

How does apache handle an infinite loop?  Won't it kill performance?  A
server with an infinite loop is screwed on any platform.  In any case, I
tend to avoid coding such loops.
