Hi,

    how much thread-safe is PHP on linux when compiled with
    --enable-experimental-zts ? When I a set up a callback
    handler for a 3rd library which uses threads and in this (C)
    callback I call call_user_function() (to provide custom
    callbacks) -> bang , I get a segfault. Should it work and I'm
    doing something stupid or is this some limitation? Hints?

PHP is thread safe, not multi-threaded. ie. scripts cannot be multi-threaded. You will have to somehow proxy the data back to the original calling thread for your library to work. Shane
