Thanks for the reply.

After submitting the question I came across this page
http://blog.bitflux.ch/archive/2006/09/28/ (linked from the PHP docs of
course -- must update my local help file!) with an early patch that
makes use of these new hooks. However, I suspect we'll wait until
something more 'official' comes along (we don't currently use APC,
although I'm working on changing that).

Thanks again for your help.
