This is a known problem; the heap manager does not function correctly in a DLL when an external program (apache, in this case) creates new threads.

The heap manager is simply not thread safe until the FPC threading system has
been initialised (by starting a thread).

It is not that simple. The heap manager cannot handle situations where
threads have been started by code that is not aware of the FPC threading
mechanisms - such as apache.

Ah yes, that's indeed a problem with the new 2.3.x heap manager. I don't think the 2.2.x heap manager cares though, since it uses a regular critical section/mutex.
