It may be helpful adding the option either way. As seen at samba at the
upgrade to 2.2.6, defaults may change quickly and unlucky.

The usual way: "Better safe than sorry" prohibits from those nasty
(and unnecessary) bugs. Maybe you want to search the
question at freebsd.org archive around 2002/10/29 for samba.

Expiriencing quirks like that (forgotten --disable-cups because it was
default) drives me to suggest to move '--diable-all' to the start of
CONFIGURE_ARGS, because I learned that some thing change without getting
notice early enough.

Ok, if you re-read my first and second mail, I wrote 2 things:
1st: The guy who requests support on german mailing list use php in cgi
     mode.
2nd: The bug-url I sent to you relies on www/mod_php-4.3.2 what is the
     port before you :-)
     That one includes php-cli, too.

So I keep the suggestion for optional '--with-regex=system' alive :-)

Best,
Jens

PS: Is there any reason why you didn't cc port@ and nork@ as I
    suggested?
