Help - I don't know what to do!

Hello Webmaster! It would be great if you can help me somehow, because I don't know what to do anymore ... thank you *very* much in advance. Please read ahead, I will try to make it as short as possible. I hope you can understand all my sentences because I'm not native english-speaking. Prestory: I ran into a severe problem with php4.1.1 (Apache's xbithack-feature causes documents to be PHP-parsed instead of SSI-parsed - on our old server-install all worked fine, but now these files are PHP-parsed and that's not correct!). I reported this problem to PHP's bug-database (because I thought and still think that this is a bug), but <yohgaki@php.net> answered that this is not the right place to ask support-questions! And besides that, it would be normal that xbit-files are PHP-parsed!! So I asked in the support-forums but noone seems to know anything about this special behaviour. So I asked <yohgaki@php.net> directly, but he does not answer me (I sent 3 friendly mails). I asked if he could at least provide me a link or something, so that I can read something about the special behaviour he wrote about. And that I read the PHP-manual from start to end and that I found nothing about his theory. But: no reply. :-( So I feel now very helpless (and ignorated, of course) because noone seems to be able to help me out of this misery. And I cannot rename all xbit-files (inclusive all links to these files) to .shtml to be sure that they are SSI-parsed because we have approx. 1000 SSI-files with xbit. Please tell me what I can do or where I can find more information about this obviously new feature/bug. Or forward this mail to the appropiate person. Again, thanks for your help and support.
