And the expected return value is '/' when run under Apache.
(It's apache thing..)

Nothing was verified here, just was proved that this is one of those
ghost bugs..

I also see "(in callback) cwd is '/'" (no random values) on Solaris
with PHP-4.2.1/Apache-1.3.26, so this doesn't seem to be a recent
regression.

current time is '08/20/03 08:26:09'
(in main) cwd is '/home/elmicha/public_html/php'
(in callback) cwd is '/'

In the callback it's always '/'.

I'm still running 4.3.3RC3 though (will try tonight with a current
snapshot and pristine php.ini). Linux 2.4.21, gcc-2.95.3, libc-2.1.3,
Apache-1.3.28, no vhosts.

Yes, I know 2.96 is bogus - it's a RedHat7 box. The problem also occurs
when compiled with GCC3.2.2 on a Solaris system, so I don't really
think it's relevant.

I don't have any vhosts on this install of apache - I normally use
--enable-module=vhost_alias but it's disabled on this install.
httpd.conf contains:
  DocumentRoot "/home/www/nutter.spoo.org/htdocs"

If you're unable to reproduce this there must be *something* different
between your system and mine - what are you testing this on?

Well, there is something fishy going on what you do since I'm still
unable to reproduce this..and btw. The gcc 2.96 is bogus:
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html

Also, if you were using default configuration of apache, you wouldn't
have any virtualhosts..
