There are some problems I will mention the least significant first.
1. Zend has a weird hack which moves php.ini away from /usr/local/etc and 
into /usr/local/etc/Zend and replaces the original with a symbolic link. This 
could cause problems mounting across filing systems and then who know who 
will be the next developer to decide they want php.ini in their own local 
dir!! 

2. ZendStudio-5_0_0Beta.bin dumps core. I am talking with Zend about this and 
am hoping to get a fix out of them. I will post a notice here if I get one.
