Didn't know PHP had version 5.1.9 and MySQL 5.0.29. Highest version i know 
of are 5.1.4 and 5.0.22.

Your answer is here, http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=2059

Else, you should probably not use the latest versions of either PHP or MySQL 
when testing open source CMS. You can't be sure if everything is working. 
The best platform for comparision of PHP based open source CMS are PHP 4.4.x 
and MySQL 4.1.16->.

TYPO3 3.8.1 are not 100% compatible against PHP 5.x. TYPO3 4.0 should be. 
MySQL 5.x need to run in without some of it's stricter rules to work, probably 
in MySQL4 compatible mode.

But I'm running TYPO3 4.0 with PHP 5.1.2 and MySQL 5.0.20 on Debian 3.1 without 
problem.
