It might be caused by the PHP 5.2.0 I am running. I found a bug report that is now closed :

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31309

and says that the corresponding bug was fixed in PHP 5.2.3.

I'll investigate this a bit further, though my production server is still running PHP 5.2.0. However this patch might be applied anyway if TYPO3 only requires PHP >= 5.2.0 (I think this is the case, isn't it?)

Regards
