I think this was always there and its pretty harmless.

This is because FreeBSD's libc comes in two versions - threaded and
non-threaded. If Python is linked against the threaded ones and Apache
against the non-thrreaded, then you get this problem. There is a simple
fix for this - you just cause Apache to start with threaded libs, but I
can't find any references to it right now and have to run off to a
meeting.
