would you mind explaining the "thread-safe problem" to
the list in more detail?  The more of us that
understand it, the more we might be able to work for a
solution.
Sorry I can't explain Tread safe problem in more detail, because I not fully understand it, that's to complex for me and I have to few experience in C programing language.


I can just try to explain the story and the consequences :

Tread Safe problem (when I start with 3.* version of mapserver) : http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptCGI

And  another bug  with mapscript  exist with php regex :
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=252

And php4 as a DSO module won't work with system regex, tow good reason to use php4 as a cgi.

Debian provide two version of php4 :
- The apache DSO one (the most used)
- And the cgi (but with regex = php)

So I curently provide :
php4-cgi-mapscript : php cgi binary with system regex.
and php4-cgi-mapscript-dev to avoid problems with php regex and php cgi detection in the mapscript configure script.



Now  (4.4):

Thread safe problem :
May be fixed, but not fully tested.

Regex problem (may be fixed too):
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=990


I need too rebuild my packages, with this version, may be this week end, I'll can give you more information after.

I will be testing another install of the mapserver
files this weekend on a freshly formated machine. I
will let you know how it goes.
