This would probably be a great one
for the folks at the phpbuilder.com
forums.  Before you head there, I'd
suggest Googling for the error message,
and also checking phpbb.org to see
if this is a FAQ for PHPBB (IIRC, there
is...)

Obviously, some call is returning a
value of negative one.  This seems a
tad unusual for PHP, which generally
returns 1 on success, zero on failure.
I doubt that PHPBB calls to system()
or shell_exec(), so it's a little beyond
me.  On my PHPBB, line 152 is blank...
but I'm not recalling what version I
have, and I have multiple installations...
