A lot of packages already need things like is_a and similar which are just available from 4.2 onward. Also, php 4.1.2 is quite old already :-)) If you might do additional things apart from using IMP or something I'd strongly suggest you upgrade to a more recent version of php (and then a more recent version of PEAR as well).
