Apache 2 and PHP 4

[Mark Musone]

actually, the prefork MPM's are completely different..that was a side effect
of the major changes to apache to be able to support threading..hence one of
rasmus's concerns, apache 2 is nowhere near as tested as apache 1, evne with
the perfork MPM.

if you run the prefork MPM which is basicly the same MPM used with 
apache1 i think you're pretty safe. it's when you switch over to one of 
the other MPM like worker is it where you can run into unknowns.
