<?
	abc123 ();

	function abc123 ()
	{
		$name = "_SERVER";
		printf ("%s<br>", ${$name}["SERVER_NAME"]);
	}
?>

The _SERVER autoglobal array is not accessible through a variable variable. The above script gives the following error:

Notice: Undefined variable: _SERVER in /usr/local/apache/site/htdocs/zzz.php on line 7

When the _SERVER array is accessed directly (not through a variable variable) everything works correctly.
Here is the configure line:
./configure --with-pgsql --with-apache=../apache-1.3 --enable-track-vars --with-pfpro=/usr/local/src/payflowpro/linux --with-imap=/usr/local/src/imap-2003.DEV.SNAP-0304071905 --with-imap-ssl=/usr/include/openssl --without-pear

(found by typing \"superglobals\" in our manual search box):
