Once upon a time I deliberately build a 3.x release as a DSO and it worked.
Trouble is that it takes some load and circumstances to uncover any issues.
Things trucked along swimmingly for nearly a week when someone else started
using that particular dev system for testing. All of a sudden, it leaked and
lobotomised the whole server. Oops. (ignore install instructions at your peril)

I suspect that such circumstances would be much easier to induce if one was
deliberately trying to DOS the server or even on a heavily used production
system than on a sheltered dev system.

FYI Our prod system is Linux, PHP 4.x CGI and Apache 2 prefork.
