Sorry, I forgot that I had to access $DOCUMENT_ROOT as
$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] now.

Constructs like 

<? require "$DOCUMENT_ROOT/head.php";?>

will cause a bogus error 

"PHP Warning:  open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong
directory in [...]"

replacing $DOCUMENT_ROOT with the actual directory name works fine but
is braindamaged to use.

BTW this may also apply to other options like safe_mode_exec_dir.
