Description:
------------
when safe_mode is active, I want to be able to include files from certain directories without checking for their UID/GID.

Reproduce code:
---------------
--8<--[ php.ini ]--8<--
safe_mode = On
safe_mode_gid = Off
safe_mode_include_dir = "/usr/share/php/:/usr/lib/php/"
safe_mode_allowed_env_vars = PHP_,LANG,LC_
--8<--[ apache vhost config ]--8<--
php_value include_path ".:/usr/share/php:/usr/lib/php"
--8<--[ sample php script ]--8<--
require_once('/usr/lib/php/Smarty/Smarty.class.php');
--8<--

Expected result:
----------------
included file, no error message.

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: main() [function.main]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 667 is not allowed to access /usr/lib/php/Smarty/Smarty.class.php owned by uid 0 in /home/wschlich/public_html/smartytest/smartytest.php on line 19

; By default, Safe Mode does a UID compare check when
; opening files. If you want to relax this to a GID compare,
; then turn on safe_mode_gid.

then the comment above safe_mode_include_dir is silly:

; When safe_mode is on, UID/GID checks are bypassed when
; including files from this directory and its subdirectories.
; (directory must also be in include_path or full path must
; be used when including)

it says "UID/GID checks are bypassed", so why should I enable safe_mod_gid then?

I even tried that, result:
--8<--
Warning: main() [function.main]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid/gid is 667/888 is not allowed to access /usr/lib/php/Smarty/Smarty.class.php owned by uid/gid 0/0 in /home/wschlich/public_html/smartytest/class.MySmarty.inc.php on line 27

Can't reproduce.
Make sure that /usr/lib/php/Smarty (or any of it's parent dirs) is not a symbolic link.

no symlink...

I can't reproduce this either. Try this on command line:

# php -r 'include("/usr/lib/php/Smarty/Smarty.class.php");'

Also, make sure that PHP really is loading the right php.ini file!! (e.g. if you happen to have one in / that one will be loaded instead)
