Query String Help!

I just finished installing PHP 4.3.1, and for some reason when a page has a query string, it won't read the first key/value pair of the string. All of the rest seem to work fine, just not the first. It reads it as being blank (however it appearently is setting the variable name). For example: results.php?term=023S&Program_Code=ART&Submit=Search is my qs. The term=023S does not get set, although $term (or specifically $_GET[term]) does become a variable (just the value is not set). This works with any order, whichever key/value pair comes first (so I know its not a problem with $term being overwritten later). Whats even more interesting, is after I'm onthe results.php page (And the $term doesn't work), I can hit refresh and it does all of a sudden. Any thoughts? Anyone? Please i'm lost on this, it worked before the upgrade which makes me thing possibly its a configuration thing? Heck call me at the # below if you have any ideas :-) or just email back.
