Probably true, I remember it having used for quite uncommon cases but it was useful (especially in CLI functions, having to work with signals and such).

I also find just a few applications at
http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&q=+lang:php+register_tick_function+-geshi+-phpshell&start=40&sa=N

That's actually just 1 application, the others are for functions not allowed and the other is documentation of it.

but still wondered why to remove it all, did it cause harm? Instability?


It caused some crashes and generally just isn't a good idea (TM).

cheers,
