Why do you actually have browscap.ini in that directory anyway..? That sounds like a very bad idea to me, considering it will get loaded as "normal" partial php.ini file. Of course it shouldn't cause a crash though. :)
 [2008-05-26 20:43 UTC] m dot kurzyna at crystalpoint dot pl 
As for the location - it seems convenient. Dunno if loading it with the rest of .ini is a good or bad thing - personally I don't see disadvantages of this except for having to parse one more file and thus startup performance loss.

This however is irrelevant. I moved browsecap.ini to /tmp and set browsecap option to new location - it still crashes. However when it can't find the file it doesn't so it's something specific to this file that causes the crash. 

I've managed to isolate basic test case: it's using quotation for  values:

option="value" 

crashes, where 

option=value 

doesn't. This isn't true for configuration ini file - using quotations has no crash effect as far as I tested.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.3-latest.tar.gz

And provide new backtrace generated with that snapshot.

Just tried with 2008.07.08 08:30 snap - seems to work fine with values both quoted and not. Thanks for the fix.

Closing then.
