[TYPO3-install] Install tool problems with PHP 5.2.1

[S. G. Kearn]

I recently upgraded to PHP 5.2.1 on my Gentoo box, planning to upgrade
from T3 4.0.5 to 4.1. After changing the symlinks to post to the new
source I attempted to access the install tool, only to find that apache
would hang on certain sections. I reverted to the 4.0.5 source (no
database changes were made) and found that this occurs with the install
tool there as well.

The following links in the install tool result in this behavior:

Basic configuration
Database analyzer
Image processing
Clean up database
typo3temp

The other links work without any problems. The rest of the system (BE
and FE) seems to be working without any hitches at all.

The "hang" results in apache becoming completely unresponsive, but not
using any CPU. No errors are present in either the PHP or Apache error
logs. Obviously, this makes any upgrade impossible. I suspected that the
suhosin patch might be causing the problems, but a recompile without it
resulted in the same situation.

I am running MySQL 5 but have Set sql_mode="MYSQL40" in setDBinit. I did
not upgrade or recompile MySQL during this upgrade.

Any suggestions as to further steps I can take to troubleshoot this, or
suggestions for a fix?

Thanks,
S. G. Kearn
