Still without having checked it properly, I think my problem is this:

I run PHP in safemode, and have a 'safemode-exec-dir' in that dir I
symlink executables that are allowed to be executed by PHP. Pretty
standard stuff.

It seems that stat (that I'm pretty sure is_file also uses internally)
resolves the symlink, and decides that it doesn't have read access to
the original file, which is true, but not a problem, and then returns
false instead of an array. The same is the case with lstat.

Again, this is just my guesses about what's going on. I will try to
investigate it further.
