1. Start apache 2 - ./apachectl startssl OR just 'start'

2.  Request file phptest.php (containing just phpinfo() 
call).

3.  Browser reports incomplete page (actually nothing at 
all).

4.  Stop apache.

5.  View apache error_log file which contains -

[notice] Apache/2.0.40 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.40 
OpenSSL/0.9.6g DAV/2 PHP/4.2.3 configured -- resuming 
normal operations

PHP Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect.  The script 
whose uid is -1 is not allowed to access 
/home/htdocs/phptest.php owned by uid 99 in Unknown on line 
0
PHP Warning: Failed opening '/home/htdocs/phptest.php' for 
inclusion (include_path= ...) in Unknown on line 0

     Apache is running as uid 99 and the named file is 
owned by that user and permissions rwx are provided - but I 
have never heard of a uid -1.  I do note that an earlier 
bug last year complained of something similar but with uid 
1 (as opposed to -1)
