require_once('bah.php');
require_once('BAH.php');

Will "require" bah.php twice. I realize this makes sense on a case sensitive file system, but on Windows (NTFS, I guess) or Mac OS X (HFS+) it can be a surprise. Users should really use case consistently, but sometimes a search and replace will change case or something (that's what happened to me).

I'm not sure this behavior should be changed; it would be nice if it was documented, though.

Sorry, I can't confirm this happens in a newer version of PHP!

This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation 
problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

this also affects 4.2.2 (and probably 4.2.3)

This is documented quite clearly, but this behaviour on Windows is just SO WRONG.

I vote (for all it counts) that the behaviour be changed.
