The problem is that you aren't using a threaded version of php. If php had=
=20
been linked against libpthread, it would have been loaded at startup, and=
=20
its symbol aliasing would have mapped that call to=20
pthread_rwlock_rdlock().

Your module is pulling in libpthread, and initializing threading, thus=20
__isthreaded is true. But when your module is loaded is far too late to be=
=20
pulling in libpthread.

Take care,
