Re: [PHP4BETA] PHP/Oracle Silent Apache Crash

This has to do with pthreads.  The Oracle libs > 8.0.5 for Linux use pthreads,
so you must link your apache binary with pthread to get it to work properly.
Add -lpthread to LDFLAGS and relink your apache binary.

I struggled with this issue for a couple of weeks before Thies suggested this 
solution.  I can't verify that it works since I use the RedHat prepackaged 
Secure Web Server and PHP as a .so extension, but the message thread sure 
died off fast when it was presented... ;)
