One gotcha if we haven't fixed it already:
* putenv( "TZ..." ) no longer works (fine in core, maybe extensions
need fixing?)
I'm also curious about:
"Changed $GLOBALS into a JIT autoglobal, so it's initialized only if used.
(this may affect opcode caches!)"
I know we don't use $GLOBALS in a lot of places (preferring explicit global
declarations), but it might be worth looking into.
