Here are listed some alternatives (but "Last update: 2004-08-04"):

I'll personally try hard to avoid PHP :)
But I presently don't use any CMS and thus can't recommend you a 
reasonable alternative to drupal.

You also mentioned systrace - this could be the solution (and fun), but 
I still remember how I hunted patches for "just released stable" but 
segfaulting PHP 4.4.1 (on Linux) - a lot of things stopped to work. 
Systrace can't guarantee that PHP won't crash, can it?

If I had to go with PHP, I'll try the 5.1 line, the older 4.4 branch is 
buggy and in my opinion the PHP developers already (subconsciously? :)) 
dropped the support for it.
