Well, I have 'n' apache processes running, it is highly likely that the same 
one will get reused. Aside from the last one (which I have no idea if it's 
the case or not), all of these seem fairly common. (a filter is just the 
'normal' way of running it, right?). Anyway, I fixed the problem in my other 
script by setting the umask to what it needs to be there, so I'm pretty sure 
this was the issue.
