We have Mapscript 4.8.1 running under Apache 2/PHP 5, and it seems
stable, except that TrueType fonts don't work. They cause an immediate
segmentation fault in MapScript; we have never figured out why.
Everything else appears to be working OK.

It works.. sort of. Under very light concurrent use, it would
sporadically fail; usually refreshing the page in the browser 'fixed'
it. And when I installed ka-map, it would drop tiles seemingly
randomly (see attached screenshot).
This lead me to believe that, as of release 4.8.3, running Mapscript
under PHP5 as an Apache2 DSO is not stable for production use. Like
most folks, I didn't have the time to debug this... I have reverted
back to a PHP4-CGI/Apache2 setup with zero problems.
