I run apache22 with the event mpm in conjunction with php-fm, utilizing mod_fastcgi to connect the two. This is so I can have a threaded web server and separate it from questionable "thread-safe" PHP code. I had built PHP with the threading option, and with 5.4.x I had flaky segfaults in some modules. I suspected at the time that there were regressions in "thread-safety" in more than one module but had zero time to deal with it. I went back down to 5.3.xx just as you and have had no trouble since. -Mike
