super-globals corruption

Are there any known corruption issues with the super globals
in the current PHP 4.3 CVS?

While deploying an application on Solaris/Sparc today,
$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] sometimes contained

- the right value
- nothing
- $_SERVER["PATH"]

After that, I just hardwired the right value.  I'm in the
process of replicating this on Solaris/x86, but the bug might
be arch-dependent; so any additional info is appreciated.

I haven't seen it on Linux/fbsd.

I haven't seen that on Solaris/SPARC yet. I'm assuming this is on Apache?

Nope; are you using the current PHP_4_3 CVS in production?

I have another Solaris 2.6 site running with thttpd since
mid-Feb on the PHP_4 branch and never saw these problems
there.  Thus, if it isn't a fault in Solaris 2.8 or the build
toolchain, it must be a bug in the PHP_4_3 CVS.

We don't run Solaris at all in production, as our Solaris box is somewhat
dated and insanely slow. It's strictly for testing, mostly so we can say
our stuff runs on more than just linux, as we'd like to try and remain as
cross-platform as we can across unices.

If you need testing, I can test on iplanet (ick), apache and cli/cgi, and if
need be, I could probably set up thttpd.
