I installed Debian Woody/PHP 4 on a clean machine, and apt-get dist-upgrade'd to the latest files.  Ereg and ereg_replace will cause the page to fail.  Here's an example program:

<?
   $a = "Hello Mars!";
   $a = ereg_replace("Mars", "World", $a);
   echo $a;
?>

When I load this page in IE 5.0, I get a "The Page Cannot Be Displayed" error.  If I comment out the ereg line it works fine.

I'll take this one

Does it happen on latest snapshot from snaps.php.net? If so,
what are your configure options? Is there any errors on
apache log?

it was fixed in apache. So current woody is OK.
