safe_mode adds some extra processing to the commands we send to the 
server. To have working commands the core code has to take this into 
account. If you look at the code inside TYPO3 4.5 you find some areas 
where we attempt to handle this. In the end there was no way to fully 
support safe_mode and we were quite happy that safe_mode was deprecated 
in PHP 5.3.0 and removed in PHP 5.4.0.

safe_mode gives a false sense of safety and gives more problems than it 
solves. Ask the hoster to turn it off, ask for PHP 5.4 or move to a 
hoster that doesn't force this setting.
