Description:
------------
When including/requiring file within the scripts path, it does not pay attention to the original scripts path.  file_exists() and is_readable() will return true, but require/include will produce an error.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
// base-file.php
require 'include/some-file.php';
?>
<?php
// include/some-file.php
require 'file-that-exists.php';
?>
<?php
// file-that-exists.php
echo "Hello, I exist";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Hello, I exist

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: include(file-that-exists.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /path/to/some-file.php on line 3

I just attempted this code on a Linux (Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, Server) and did not receive the warning/fatal error.  Copying that code back to my Mac OS X box, the code did have the same error.

This appears to be OS X related.

The code to reproduce is available from: http://plumb.domain51.com/sandbox/bug42570.tar.bz2

What did you set include_path to be? And where are the files located..?
(it's not very clear now..)

Sorry for not being more explicit.

The include_path is not touched during this execution and is left as it 
is compiled from the base.  In this case, the Mac's include_path is set 
to "/path/to/php" where the PEAR files are stored without the "./:" at 
the beginning as is the normal php.ini file setup.

Properly setting the include_path does handle this, though for some 
reason I had it in my head that the current working path was always 
prepended to the include_path.

Feel free to mark as bogus...

Current working dir isn't used by default. So this is bogus.
