Yes, I thought so when I first read it, but I didn't feel like bothering 
with commentary when I posted.

First, it seemed more like an Apache issue.  Then, why would this one
function be a problem?  Doesn't everything go into memory?  So, I went to
php.net/dlopen to research what this function does.  Turns out it's not in
the manual.  Is this a function that's used by PHP internals or something?
