Besides that, many libraries (e.g. ICU4C) have either non-thread-safe parts (e.g. functions with global state) or special actions need to be performed to use them in thread-safe manner, which PHP will not perform when built in non-ZTS mode. So you need to be careful with third-party libraries too. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
