I compiled PHP 4.0.1 and PHP 4.0.1pl2 as a CGI bin, but every time I access a .php page I see:

Parse error: parse error in /home/httpd/cgi-bin/php on line 314

Even a simple <? echo "Hi" ?> script will cause this error,
whereas with PHP 4.0.0 compiled with the same settings and using the same php.ini file, things were working.

The configure switches used were:

./configure \
        --disable-debug \
        --enable-force-cgi-redirect \
        --enable-discard-path \
        --enable-track-vars \
        --enable-magic-quotes \
        --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd/conf \
        --enable-bcmath \
        --with-imap \
        --with-mysql \
        --with-pdflib=/usr/local \
        --with-gdbm

I used the php.ini-optimized file and made some changes, output from diff -b php.ini-optimized /etc/httpd/conf/php.ini shown below:

Again, with the same ./configure switches and the same php.ini file, everything works with PHP 4.0.0, but not with 4.0.1 or 4.0.1pl2.
