Description:
------------
when open_basedir is set to / disk_total_space('/') returns false; even though the documentation states:
  if set, limits all file operations to the defined directory and below

Shouldn't 'open_basedir=/' behave like 'open_basedir=' ?

Reproduce code:
---------------
[sjon@spider010 ~]$ php -r 'var_dump(disk_total_space("/"));' -d open_basedir=
float(99999830016)

[sjon@spider010 ~]$ php -r 'var_dump(disk_total_space("/"));' -d open_basedir=/
bool(false)

Are you really using PHP 5.2.4? I get this:

# php -n -dopen_basedir="/" -r 'var_dump(disk_total_space("/"));'

Yes, definitely. Might this be related to Suhosin-Patch, that the package-creator decided to include?

Do not file bugs when you have Zend extensions (zend_extension=)
loaded. Examples are Zend Optimizer, Zend Debugger, Turck MM Cache,
APC, Xdebug and ionCube loader.  These extensions often modify engine
behavior which is not related to PHP itself.

Please test with a snapshot, without suhosin and other patches. Neither Jani nor me can reproduce it.
