AFAIK, the isses are Apache 2 <-> PHP, and aren't PHP 5-specific. There have been memory leaks found in the apache2sapi handler (in PHP 4, probably in PHP 5 too) in recent times. So long as you're using the prefork MPM with Apache 2, it's widely accepted that the PHP Group's published recommendation against using PHP w/ Apache 2 lies somewhere between overcaution and out-right FUD.
