Description:
------------
Variable known_post_content_types used in SAPI.c is declared as static which is not thread safe and can lead to crash under multithread webservers like IIS.

Here is a patch for SAPI.h and SAPI.c

It is safe because it does not actually change. 
 [2004-05-31 07:57 UTC] novicky at aarongroup dot cz
It does change at least in MBSTRING module where post handlers are being registered.
We have debugged crash of PHP as IIS isapi module and there was a problem with different threads manipulates the same memory of known_post_content_types.
 [2004-05-31 12:21 UTC] derick@php.net
We can not add new globals in PHP 4 due to BC issues, but this can be fixed for  PHP 5. Assigning to the maintainer.
 [2004-07-12 18:56 UTC] moriyoshi@php.net
Verified. This needs to be fixed.
 [2005-02-21 16:17 UTC] moriyoshi@php.net
This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

The fix will be in the upcoming release of PHP5.1.0
