Gettext is not thread-safe.

You cannot run PHP gettext in anything but a non-threaded CGI or prefork
mode.

We run our webservers prefork to support PHP gettext.  

And for any production webserver it is best to run either CGI or prefork
so that your connections are completely isolated.

And PHP gettext performs correctly when used w/CGI or preforking
webservers.

Besides our little difference about virtual CWD, please try the attached
patch against 5.3. It checks if the given directory is empty or NULL
(dir length == 0) and if yes, calls bindtextdomain with NULL.

Is it what you expect?

The following patch has been added/updated:

Using your script: it happens exactly what I explained earlier. The
library does not find the locale because its CWD is not the same as the
script CWD (which is a virtual CWD, created by the engine and specific
to the engine).

I suppose you use Apache in a non thread safe mode, that won't show you
the effect I was referring to as it happens only with threaded SAPI.

The patch upload apparently won't take a zip.
