So why would any PHP code be deemed to be safe to have terminal access,
but not certain bits of httpd code? I don't get it.

There's also the issue that httpd *does* need terminal access during
during startup for configurations using encrypted private SSL keys:
mod_ssl will open /dev/tty to prompt for a password.
