 New Comment:

Sascha it's not a problem of using a feature on their system, it's a
problem that the functionality is broken on their end.  Your test,
while possibly being correct, doesn't have a way to check this.... and
I don't really think there is a way.  

As of this moment I'm not even sure if there is a released version with
it working.  

Marking this as open, as there is nothing the end user can comment back
on to this.

If you want us to avoid using certain features of your platform, then
you need to provide specific testcases. We will use these testcases to
determine whether pread/pwrite work on a platform.

Currently, we use this for pread (after echo test > conftest_in):

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>

main() { char buf[3]; return !(pread(open("conftest_in", O_RDONLY),
buf, 2, 0) == 2);

And this for pwrite:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>

main() { return !(pwrite(open("conftest_in", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT, 0600),
"hi", 2, 0) == 2);

I'd like to see this fixed for 4.3.0.  Right now the simple answer is
to remove PREAD (again).

Assigning to sascha as he was busy with it.

http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz

and the cvs fails.

Only if one change the php_config.h so 
HAVE_PREAD is #undef the session variables work.

Since confidence is high, I'm marking as closed.  The PREAD check is
still in effect yes, I didn't remove that.

It would be nice if you could test the latest snapshot, as the PREAD
was re-introduced, but with added protective measures.
