debugging nightmare: line counter on error reporting defunct

I am using PHP 4.0.3pl1 now and have been using PHP 3. When I have an error in my code, the browser will always report line 1 as the culprit, as in: Parse error: parse error, expecting ','' or ';'' in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/2000frank/autool/mip_a.php on line 1 That used to work in PHP 3. Is it a known issue or some stupid config error on my part? It's almost impossible to fix an error this way, as you may well imagine.
