Subject: Re: mod_ruby breaks php

A little more information on this problem:

The tests that are failing are failing in a consistent way, and I wonder
if it's related to the PostgreSQL drivers. The tests all submit a
request to register a new user in my system. The PHP code first attempts
to select a user with that name out of the database and, if the nothing
is returned, then does the appropriate inserts, etc. When working
properly (i.e., when I have executed no ruby code), the select returns
nothing. When not working properly, the select (very mysteriously!)
returns the user! I've turned on statement logging, and no inserts are
executed. Also, a completely separate program readinng the database does
not see that row.

This is very strange.
