>Description:
	GD is built with thread safety and is linked against
	libpthread. As such, it is unusable with non-threaded
	applications when they load dynamic modules which are linked
	against GD, such as CLI PHP and PHP-gd extension.
>How-To-Repeat:
	install php-gd (either PHP 5.0.2 or PHP 4.3.9)
	add extension=gd.so to php.ini
	then:

	> /usr/pkg/bin/php
	Abort (core dumped)

	remove extension=gd.so from php.ini
	then:
	> /usr/pkg/bin/php
PHP Warning:  Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/pkg/lib/php/20020429/gd.so' - Cannot open &quot;/usr/pkg/lib/php/20020429/gd.so&quot; in Unknown on line 0

>Fix:
	Unforunately GD doesn't seem to have a configure switch
	to disable the thread-safe build. Workaround for php-gd
	is to switch back to the bundled gd and not depend/use GD package.
