I'm not very skilled in PHP, but have noticed thar PHP 5.0.3 and TYPO3 3.8.0 
has some problems with xml2array (and I think also with array). The lines 
in class.t3lib_div.php looks like this (from line 3174)

				// Read XML, parse it.
			$xmlString = t3lib_div::getUrl($fileRef);
			$xmlContent = t3lib_div::xml2array($xmlString);
				// Set default LOCAL_LANG array content:
			$LOCAL_LANG = array();  //Where you have the error
			$LOCAL_LANG['default'] = $xmlContent['data']['default'];

I know some of these problems can be solved with upgrading to PHP 5.0.4. 
Myself has both 5.0.4 and 5.0.5 running with no problems regarding the core. 
But there are problem with TV and some extensions. The TV problem is easy 
to patch. Reading bug list on php.net and changelog from 5.0.3 to 5.0.4 gives 
indication about bugs regarding array() who has been corrected.

So maybe upgrading PHP to 5.0.5 is a better solution.

Else I think these problem is discussed on the lists (dev and english, and 
maybe install). Maybe there are a patch for PHP 5.0.3.
