I should have mentioned this before as I had already run into this 
problem on knowledgeforge.net and removed this directive. I hadn't 
committed the change as I wanted to see if any problems arose.

Yes. I don't think I should have added it.

I don't think there is any need for it so, yes, let's remove it.

Good point though usually the default (i.e. one interpreter per vhost) 
will be fine -- there aren't many people like yourself running multiple 
instances on the same vhost :)
