Log: Need to initialize here already. # You might wonder but this fixes some ini problems.

    so we're doing this twice now? i actually noticed (and sent
    mail to -dev) the mentioned ini problem some time ago. i'm
    not sure if this will actually fix it completely because the
    per-request memory manager (e*() functions) is not
    guaranteed to be in an defined state beween reqeuest and
    thereby should not be used in the ini-system at all...

You're right that this doesn't fix all problems. So we need a better solution. But the fix helps for CLI/CGI at least.

We have a "no voodoo fixes" rule - they tend to hide things which makes finding the actual problem much tougher... Do you know which functions are using this pointer before it's being initialized? Zeev
