Figures. PHP as CGI has a threading or buffering problem (not sure
what exactly) that prevents one process from spawing another if the
second process has any output. As a result, any pings and trackbacks
to a blog on the same server will only go out one at a time. If you
save the post repeatedly, they'll all go out one by one.

The solution is... well, I don't have one yet. But now that you
understand the problem, you can advise people to stop pinging their
own blogs if they're unfortunate enough to be on PHP as CGI, or
repeatedly save the post until all the pings and trackbacks are gone.
