I had php-4.0.4pl1 on one of my Solaris machines (SPARC), and was programing on my personal workstation (Solaris 8 on SPARC both) on PHP-4.0.6-dev (downloaded 2 days after the branch changed from 5 to 6) and PHP worked great with apache.

When I had to pass the programs I had on my workstation, I said, lets update PHP to the 4.0.5 version, so there are no problems.

The problems appeared. When I started entering pages on the server where there php scripts the load started growing. These are some outputs that I have after executing these scripts:

18325 18322 18.6  1.9   nobody /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd

This also happened with a page that only has the phpinfo() function.

Saludos... :-)

So what is the real problem? Does the machine really get 
slow and sluggish? Any errors? Out of memory?
Just one listing of one millisecond situation doesn't
tell ANYTHING. 

And what were the configure options used? Is PHP compiled
into Apache as DSO or static module?

There has been some memory issues solved in PHP 4.0.6.
Please try it out and reopen if this still happens.
