Description:
------------
I'm trying to view the capabilties test page for my Horde installation.  When I load the page a second time, I see the following error message:

Unknown error: Constant already defined (/opt/php-4.3.8/lib/php/PEAR.php:44)

This doesn't happen on the first page load.  Is there something strange about how APC caches define() calls?

PEAR.php line 44 contains:

    define('PEAR_OS',    'Unix'); // blatant assumption

Can you reproduce this with a script that just contains that define line?  I tried here and I couldn't.

This PHP code does the trick:

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

include 'PEAR.php';
include 'DB.php';

?>

PEAR 1.3.2
DB 1.6.4

The output looks like this:

Notice: Constant already defined in /opt/php-4.3.8/lib/php/PEAR.php on line 24

Notice: Constant already defined in /opt/php-4.3.8/lib/php/PEAR.php on line 25

Closing, for a number of reasons:

 The bug is ~10 years old.
 The original behaviour cannot be present any more.
 APC is no longer the primary, supported means by which we advise caching opcodes.

Thanks for helping to make PHP better :)
