Wow! This is great news...though I have no idea what to do with the 
patch and how to apply it to the php-source-code. The trouble is that I 
have to use the default php-engine because it should be runnable on any 
host...with some extensions. I don't guess it'd be possible to pack the 
functionality into en extension which could then be loaded more easily 
into the engine?

Thanks anyway! It was an interesting read though my c and c++ knowledge 
is far from complete so i don't understand the workings, really...Maybe, 
if I feel restless, I'll have a look at the sources, though I wouldn't 
know where to start.
