Description:
------------
(Upgrade is not an option, it is extremely tedious to use a version different from the one coming with the OS)

PHP-scripts are occasionally displayed instead of executed. This happens completely randomly and a reload fixes it. Googling shows other people have been suffering from this, but no solution can be found. Now we noticed, that removing
php_admin_value engine off  -directives from the server config removes the problem. The possibility to forbid absolutely execution of php_scripts in a directory is, however, useful and this kind of random behaviour is clearly a bug.

1. Please specify the version you are seeing this in
2. If you can't upgrade, how will you get the bug fix?

php-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3

In the best case RH would include the fix in the distribution.

Anyway, I want the next webmaster to encounter this bug to find at least one clue in his/her search.

Chances are it has been fixed years ago.  I remember a few fixes along those 
lines.  You are running code that is 5 years old.  If you can reproduce this in a 
modern version, re-open the bug report.

By the way, RHEL 5.6 is out and includes PHP 5.3.  That's probably your easiest 
way to address this.

Tried upgrading to 5.3. The bug persists.

Turning the engine explicitly on where php is needed in php.conf helps.

Anyway, there clearly is a bug and it should be fixed.
