AFAIK PHP runs safely in multi-threaded servers. What you can't expect is that PHP handles abnormal situations caused by flaws in the external libraries that PHP links with.

When I link with the same library in a C app, this 'abnormal situation' just results in a normal return from 'gzinflate' with an error value. So why is it a flaw in code from zlib? Maybe you should try this script on a multi-threaded webserver. Is this also caused by flaws in external libraries? <?php

    function f()
    {
        f();
    }

    f();
