open_basedir would work here, wouldn't it?

I really think it's a bad idea to do trivial hacks. And changing
ini_set() like this may affect a lot of users, as they might be using it already in
safe_mode installations. Something I wouldn't want in a bugfix release.
I'd rather go for a thourough check for 4.3, and release 4.2.1 just on
schedule. (I don't want to postpone it another two weeks for RCs as the
number of bugs that are now fixed withheld ISPs from upgrading to 4.2.x).
regards,
Derick
