As of version 4.3, security was improved with regards to functions like is_file().  In particular, badly set file permissions will cause errors similar to the following:

  Warning: is_file() [function.is-file]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 10014 is not allowed to access ./filename/.....

What I have discovered is, if I use is_file() on the filenames "." and ".." my script will break with errors like those above.  Is this a bug?

Thanks.
