Theres some things you shouldn't do in a webserver process : ) Yes there would be
possibilities of problems
for a webserver SAPI module. The idea, though, is that it would be targeted to the cgi

Yes, and actually I was thinking about that. This adds a very large level of
complexity,
and would most likely require some special hooks into Zend. (The capibility to create
a thread
bound to a php function, would be tricky)
