Servlet SAPI questions

Hello PHP developers- I was able to successfully build the PHP interpreter as a servlet on Linux, and I am even able to access it to pull up the phpinfo page and a few other pages. The problem I have is that I am only able to access something like two to four scripts before the JVM core dumps. This may be related to some of the other recent servlet-related bug reports, but what happens to me does not exactly match, so I thought I'd ask you all about it. To be a little more specific, I am running Red Hat 6.0 on intel, and I have tried this with PHP 4.0.0, 4.0.2 and 4.0.3pl1. Same result. I have also tried it with the following JVMs: IBM 1.1.8 and 1.3, Sun 1.2.2 and 1.3. I built PHP using --with-servlet --with-java --without-mysql --without-gd --without-xml (I was trying to create the simplest interpreter possible). I also tried building PHP either with or without the option "--disable-posix-threads", since I wondered if this could be a Linux/Java threading problem. I got the exact same result under all of these combinations. Unrelated to this bug, I wanted to ask what the advantages were of using the PHP interpreter as a servlet vs. using a "cgi servlet", which would contain a method call to Runtime.exec("php myscript.php").
