We had this on two systems with suhosin + mod_php5 + eaccelerator 
installation (debian lenny, eacc 0.5.3 from source), no fcgi. So this 
might be an eaccelator problem, too. We are still investigating this.

Yep, this ini_set is -as far as I understood- only needed for WIN, 
that's why I commented the line completly as a first hack for our 
installation.
