Description:
------------
WinXP, IIS, ISAPI, PHP 4.4.8 (I have to use the 4.x branch because my code needs to run on a shared hosting server that I have no control over, and they only have the 4.x branch.)

When there is a parse error in an included file, NO error is displayed even if display_errors and error_reporting are set correctly.

Reproduce code:
---------------
--a.php--
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL & E_NOTICE);
include("b.inc.php");
?>
---------

--b.inc.php--
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL & E_NOTICE);
$testvar = ;
?>
-------------

Expected result:
----------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in [path here]\b.inc.php on line 4

Actual result:
--------------
The output is absolutely, completely blank.

We are sorry, but we can not support PHP 4 related problems anymore.
Momentum is gathering for PHP 6, and we think supporting PHP 4 will
lead to a waste of resources which we want to put into getting PHP 6
ready.
