[Bug 225600] [NEW] [Hardy][Regression] PHP 5.2.4 symlink bug breaks TYPO3 default setup

[Jakob Unterwurzacher]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: php5

>From http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42587 :
php-5.2.4 changed the behaviour for the current working directory (cwd) which php scripts see when the requested php file is a symlink which points to a php file in another directory.

This change breaks the default TYPO3 setup (index.php is a symlink) - you will get a whitescreen instead of your website. This is detailed here (see comments): http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=6158 .
The workaround is to copy index.php instead.

This was fixed in PHP 5.2.5:
