Sounds like a nice idea... good luck, and keep us posted.

My understanding is that the GC needs to know about new threads that
are created, and that this is done by overriding some of the pthread_
functions. So unless Apache was built knowing about this, you may
have problems. Perhaps they will only show up in certain
circumstances, I don't know.
