I would like the PHP developers to please consider reopening this bug.
I don't think it is bogus. It still happens with PHP 4.2.x:
The problem is simple: when using PHP as a CGI and pointing to a
non-existing PHP file, instead of a 404 error we receive an empty page
or a 500 - Internal Server error from the PHP CGI due to missing HTTP
headers.
I think the solution is that the PHP CGI should be modified to return a
404 error header when it cannot find the .php file that it is being
pointed to.

Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking
support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.
For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP,
please visit http://www.php.net/support.php
Thank you for your interest in PHP.

This problem has been annoying me for a while and is still present in
4.1.2 (CGI) at least. I stepped through the code in a debugger and
found out that when the php script doesn't exist then zend_error() is
called at the lower-level, but the zend_catch in cgi_main.c catches the
error and the php execution ends without any HTTP headers or
anything... hence the '500 Server Error'.
I don't know enough about the way Zend works to propose a patch, but I
found a nice WORKAROUND... in your php.ini, set
log_errors=On;
This way, the error message will be sent to your Apache error_log, and
the php execution will end nicely with proper HTTP headers, but an
empty document, which is better than a 500 server error.

Yes with PHP 4.1.2 the problem occures still for me.
