This is true. Basically you need to ensure that the child process
exits() always, or you'll have a ton of apache processes running left
behind. Not to mention that you should not attempt to access any of the
shared resources (yes, that includes print and echo since they share the
standard output file descriptor, and obviously database connections are
included) because you're not going to get consistent results.
