Rasmus: Here is the code I have just used to test this issue:

testfile1.php:
<?
  include( "testfile2.php" );
?>

testfile2.php:
<?
  echo "testing...";
?>

When trying to load testfile1.php, it works approx. 80% of the time,
displaying 'testing...' in the browser.  However, about one time in 5
it displays the following error:

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory
in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Failed opening '/home/httpd/html/testfile1.php' for inclusion
(include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

(Note it says it is unable to open the main file, not the one I'm
trying to include in my script)

I'd still like to see a solid reproducable example of this bug in the
current code.  Half of these reports are bogus.  Of course setting
stuff to $DOCUMENT_ROOT doesn't work.  It never has.

My current feeling is that this has nothing to do with open_basedir at
all but might be a memory corruption elsewhere causing the setting to
be wiped out.  One such memory issue was fixed in 4.3.

hank@marinar.com: I'm using the full path name as the argument for
open_basedir and still experiencing this issue with 4.2.3...

Upgraded to 4.2.3, and found a way to produce the problem and my fix. 
In the <VirtualHost>, if I use the following statement I get the
error:

php_admin_value open_basedir $DOCUMENT_ROOT

However, if I specify a path instead of the variable, it works just
fine:

php_admin_value open_basedir /home/netgram/public_html

It would still be very nice to use a variable instead of retyping
information.  Hope this helps!

Experiencing the same issue with 4.2.3 on Linux with Apache 1.3.26 and
Ben-SSL 1.48.
