I've been having a problem with PHP 4.4.1 and mod_rewrite, which, as Geert Booster kindly pointed out, has been reported on http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2005-November/027038.html, which also has a link to the PHP bug report in the thread. Not sure if this is relevant to PHP5, but thought I'd mention that something similar exist(ed?) in the 4.4.1 version.
