This sounds like a good solution, I know most other libraries that I've
integrated with PHP that have portions that aren't safe with multiple
threads do this, that way the necessary measures can be applied by the
application (in the PHP extension, this would be by adding these calls
to the MSHUTDOWN() and MINIT() functions).

Basic thought: Good idea, Me Like ;)
