I'm hoping that someone with superior debugging skills can assist me 
with an issue I'm having with an extension.

I'll briefly outline the issue in the hopes you have some idea what the 
problem may be or at the very least find the challenge appealing.

I've been working on a rewrite of a module that did not work on many 
platforms, I have since made great progress to the point where the 
module now appears to work on all platforms it has been tested on 
during the initial tests  as the module is built as a shared extension.

The next test was to embed the extension into PHP, while this did work 
on some platforms (RH9), the module stopped functioning properly on 
many others, I have made no changes to the code in any way other than 
when configuring PHP, the configure option was been changed from 
"--enable-module=shared" to "--enable-module".

I have tested all of the conditional flags in case this might be the 
problem but it does not appear to be the cause.

Anyone having some time who can devote to helping me solve this issue 
would be appreciated and possibly compensated for the time spent 
solving this issue but I cannot guarantee or make any promises 
regarding compensation at this time.

If you're interested, please feel free to contact me.
