It's the exact same situation as this bug: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=24177 except, that bug was fixed back in PHP 4... In my case, the server that works is running PHP 5.2.2, and the server that DOESN'T work is running PHP 5.2.3! So either it's a bug that cropped up (again) after 5.2.2, or there's another factor here.. (For instance, the server on which it doesn't work is running Apache 1.3.37, and the server that handles it correctly is running Apache 2.2.4.) At least knowing that it's (likely) a bug, and not an obscure config setting, is something. If no-one else has any other suggestions, I guess I'll submit a bug report?
