By the way, RHEL 5.6 is out and includes PHP 5.3.  That's probably your
easiest 
way to address this.

Chances are it has been fixed years ago.  I remember a few fixes along
those 
lines.  You are running code that is 5 years old.  If you can reproduce
this in a 
modern version, re-open the bug report.

php-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3

In the best case RH would include the fix in the distribution.

Anyway, I want the next webmaster to encounter this bug to find at least
one clue in his/her search.

1. Please specify the version you are seeing this in
2. If you can't upgrade, how will you get the bug fix?

Description:
------------
(Upgrade is not an option, it is extremely tedious to use a version
different from the one coming with the OS)

PHP-scripts are occasionally displayed instead of executed. This happens
completely randomly and a reload fixes it. Googling shows other people
have been suffering from this, but no solution can be found. Now we
noticed, that removing
php_admin_value engine off  -directives from the server config removes
the problem. The possibility to forbid absolutely execution of
php_scripts in a directory is, however, useful and this kind of random
behaviour is clearly a bug.
