Unrelated to the previous discussion, and applicable to the base PHP code in mod_files.c too, another observation: Some syscalls can fail with EINTR, when a signal hits while within the kernel. This is especially true for flock(LOCK_EX) because in the already-locked case the second call will go to sleep for a while waiting for the lock to clear. But it is also possible, I think, for the pread/read/write calls. The usual handling for the case (-1 return && errno == EINTR) is to just repeat the call in a while loop. I think that at least doing so for the LOCK_EX calls, would be prudent. best regards Patrick
