I had pretty much the same experience. 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.
