Tell me about it... i've had to compile a custom PHP version quite a few
times just to work around this problem. I'm hoping that with the release of
RHEL 6 that 4 gets dropped pretty quickly in the field and that all servers
are upgraded to RHEL 5 / 6 with the help of the EOL annoucement for PHP4.

I can't see any problem with going 4.4 / 5.1.6 as long as there is
information for people stuck on earlier versions on how to install 1.7 etc..
for RHEL4 its already a serious challenge as from memory it gets installed
with Pear 1.3.2
