My understanding is that it is not recommended to run PHP with Apache 2 - unless Apache 2 is run in prefork mode. This is because many popular PHP libraries are not thread safe (although PHP itself is.) The stock CentOS Apache is in prefork mode I believe and that is why there are no problems.
Apache prefork:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/prefork.html
PHP manual warning about Apache 2 in threaded mode:

That is true ... the centos apache is defaulted that way.
Is that any different from the YUM install? Or does YUM also default to prefork?
James
Yum is the same.
