Getting totally wrong dir in the output of the error mess

open_basedir restriction in effect. File(index.php) is not within the
allowed path(s): (/home/userB)

Getting this error when surfing to userA which has open_basedir set to
/home/userA in apache virthost, one gets that access to userB home
isn't granted.

This might not be a fault in the open_basedir code, but for some reason
it get's the wrong open_basedir dir from the calling function.

If someone could take a deeper look at this it would be nice, hard to
explain to all customers that this problem is out of our hands to fix.

Bug confirmed on FreeBSD 4.6 with php 4.3.0. Totally random it  seems.

i have the same problem after i upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.3.0(release
version)
pls update bug version No.
it's _NOT_ fixed in php-4.3.0

it seems php may not re-initize correctly
cause there's an un-relative bug: http://bugs.php.net/?id=21306
but i'm just guessing

Same problem here on FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE + Apache and it's 
really a showstoppper. 
 
PHP is today's 4.3.0-dev snapshot, but a 4.2.3 release had 
the same behavior. 
 
Sometimes the error message reports the open_basedir of 
another unrelated virtualhost. 
 
The problem _never_ showed up on OpenBSD 3.1/3.2 + Zeus + 
PHP 4.2.3 with FastCGI on a very similar setup. 
 
There's definitely an off-by-one or some kind of memory 
corruption somewhere.

We randomly gets this error even if virtual server has this option
switched off. (but other virtual servers has this option on)

I get this problem alot on my site http://perthtunes.wicked.dj/ which
is not hosted by me..

Apache Version 1.3.27 (Unix) 
Kernel Version 2.4.18-0.12 
Perl Version 5.006001 
PHP Version 4.2.3 

the site has alot of nested include files and I seem to get a high rate
of recreation of the error. seems to happen 1 in every 5 or so page
views for most users.
