Subject: php4-cgi: this does look release critical

I suggest: severity 273143 grave

The reporter selected the wrong severity, but this does look like an
RC bug, unfortunately. I have just been asked to fix a system which
upgraded from stable and had many of their virtual-hosted scripts
break. It uses a #!-style of running CGI scripts. It is documented in
the PHP manual and seems a common situation for selecting php4-cgi
over the other flavours, so I think this makes the package unusable or
mostly so.

Because 4.1.2's config also included enable-force-cgi-redirect, I'm
not sure whether the reporter's diagnosis was correct. I have asked
them and I'm waiting for more information.

I have my afflicted system running through a wrapper as a workaround.
Please cc me on replies.
