The PHP developers, the Zend Optimizer developers, and php-security.org will 
disagree with this blanket "Bad Idea Multithreaded PHP NO-NO" statement. 
Actually, they already have disagreed.

There are *certain* PHP modules which are thread-unsafe, and are usually marked 
as such. Examples: readline.so (which we do not care about at this time), or 
recode.so (which comes with a whole list of other restrictions on top of the 
thread-safety one).

This does not make the entire PHP distribution, and/or all the PHP modules 
thread-unsafe.
