If I try to call the URL http://cube.netestate.de/cccccccccccccccccccccccc/test.php

php logs this to syslog:

Mar  7 10:38:22 roja php: PHP Fatal error:  Unknown(): Unable to open /home/www/cube.netestate.de/data/ccccccccccccccccccccccc\221^A in Unknown on line 0 

If I mv cccccccccccccccccccccccc to ccccccccccccccccccccccc
and call the URL with one 'c' less, it works.

If i set /cbi-bin/printenv.cgi as interpreter instead of /cgi-bin/php and call the URL causing problems, i get this:

Here it works perfectly on Win2k with IIS/CGI. No problems with long paths.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip

Lot has changed since 4.3.1 in this snapshot (for CGI) so please test first that this happens also with it.
(I can't reproduce this either..)

No feedback was provided. The bug is being suspended because
we assume that you are no longer experiencing the problem.
If this is not the case and you are able to provide the
information that was requested earlier, please do so and
change the status of the bug back to "Open". Thank you.

I am still experiencing the bug. I do not have the time
to compile and test your latest snapshot. If you send me a
x86-linux binary of the CGI-version, i can see if it has
the problem.

I have migrated the critical servers to the module-version
of PHP. It does not have these problems.

We can't reproduce this -> fixed.
