Guys, it has NOTHING to do with load or number of includes. Both you (Wez) and Ilia know that. That's why Yahoo is just another site, with perhaps a large code base. This patch has to do with far-reaching effects. For example, it broke require_once, it broke parse_ini_file, and it caused random crashes. Is it possible that there aren't any more crash bugs? Sure. Should these 3 crash bugs, that were *introduced into a final RC*, send alarm signals? Definitely. It's about risk management, and going with this patch in 4.3.2 is very poor risk management. Zeev
