FYI, is the machine in question dedicated, or a shared hosting
environment?

If it's dedicated, it might be worth chrooting Apache. If it's shared it
might be chrooted already. It can help localize the damage in situations
like this.

Thanks for your efforts, Alan! It's not an easy job, and I appreciate
all that you do.
