Apache 2.0 implements multithreading, while the 1.x versions were forking
processes. While this might increase the overall speed of the webserver,
all (and I mean ALL) used extensions, end extensions for these extensions,
must be written in a thread-safe way.
While the PHP core group as to my knowledge has already implemented PHP
(4.3.0 that is) in a thread-safe way, most of PHP extension modules are not
(yet?) thread safe.
Might get you into a core dump I suppose...
