I've been able to reproduce this on a non-production system so I can poke at
the problem at my convenience. I've determined that it's apparently
_not_ thread related. If no one has a solution on this, I'll try to find
the time to track it down in phplib - when I get a round tuit. Anyone got
any spare round tuits?
