Eek!  I *really* think that's a bad idea.  Since the Freeside code isn't
threaded you're not going to see any difference in performance, just
instability. 

I'm not at all surprised signal handling broke in that case.

You'll get the benefit of both processors simply because of Apache's
process model; no need to compile Perl for threading.
