Yeah, I was running 1.3 until a year or so ago.

with 2.x as long as you're only using the process forking model, you're
perfectly safe. with the threading model, and certain php modules,
there is a chance that race conditions could lead to crashes.

On linux or BSD, the differences between threads and processes in terms
of performance are slight enough that there's no great loss running the
pre-forked process based worker model of apache.
