For all I know (not much) --enable-pcntl may imply that you are doing
multi-threading... Doesn't it kind of have to? I mean, isn't that what
pcntl *DOES*? Allow you to 'fork' a new process, which has its own
separate thread, by definition? Or maybe processes and threads are
different enough that you're okay on this one...

If so, you have to re-compile cURL and MySQL with multi-threading turned
on as well, at least as I understand the Google answers.

Or maybe you turned on multi-threading with cURL and MySQL when you
compiled them for Apache, but now you need that *OFF* to work with your
non-thread CLI PHP binary.

Maybe there's a command line tool to ask a ".so" file if it's threaded or
not? Maybe even just 'file foo.so' will tell you???
