OK -
If you're running *IIS* instead of an unsupported NT web server
which Apache Group itself recommends against using other than
for testing purposes, the non-CGI version of PHP is prone to
spectacular meltdowns.
Then again, the CGI version was leaking memory like a bastard
until 3 weeks ago. Most people simply never notice because they don't
carry 50k+ pages through it every day.
Don't take that as MS evangelism, btw - Apache 1.x just doesn't
cut it for high-volume work on NT. Apache 2 probably will, and
at that point we'll probably start using it.
