IMHO no, it doesn't, as it appears to be related to your 'extreme' configuration, and not something in the plain simple PHP :) We need to figure out which extension causes it before we can really dive in... IMHO the only really critical bug is #13616. I cannot really test the RC since the application that I use the most (SquirrelMail for example) do not work.

This bug is really problematic, because effectively, it's not a bug. Prior to the current CVS, PHP behaved pretty inconsistently with function redefinitions. This caused all sorts of issues, as can be seen in bug 9884. Sometime since 4.0.6, I changed the behavior to be consistent - if a function is redefined during compile-time, it will complain, period. Unfortunately, this obviously has a negative side effect, and a fairly big one, too. Code that used to work, if ($foo) {

        return;

} ...function definitions... no longer works. Instead, you have to do something like: if (!$foo): ...function definitions... endif; Fixing this is trivial, it means reverting the fix for bug 9884. The question is whether we do that or not, and we need to decide about it... Zeev
