Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] zend_alter_ini_entry threadsave if used in SAPI
  modules?
From: uwe@thetaphi.de (Uwe Schindler)

Look here:

         /*
          * Deactivated for now. The ini system will cause random crashes when
          * accessed from here (since there are no locks to protect the global
          * known_directives)
          */

My question was if the modifications to the ini values are valid only for 
one thread, so if the webserver runs two requests in two threads at the 
same time with different ini settings if they can see the modification of 
the other one...
