Which should be fine since the PHP function is there and just maps to malloc/free anyway. The problem on a reload is that PHP gets unloaded so any other module that uses pcre while PHP is unloaded will crash. So I think the specific bug we are talking about is very much related to an Apache restart. Of course, the way it is written, it is silly for it to use the pemalloc wrapper.
You didn't understand what I'm saying. If we were to use emalloc/efree (which we don't but we should if possible) and if we wouldn't replace them with malloc/free on RSHUTDOWN, then some other Apache module which handles the next request (mod_perl for example) would call our emalloc/efree. As the memory manager wouldn't be initialized this would most likely crash.
