I agree with that; the problem here is that a SAPI module developer would have to track two moving targets. The first one is PHP, the second one is the SAPI module. For debugging, this is a ridiculous situation, because problems might be caused by PHP or the SAPI module. The global lock disables multi-threaded execution of scripts, therefore avoiding the thread-safety issues of PHP. -- Regards, Sascha Schumann Consultant
