Perhaps somebody does not know that PHP 4.0.1 has been released.
Of course, TWIG works with PHP 4.0.1 in my Linux box.

(well, I cannot post news yet)

>    case of non-persistent connects (Zeev)
> - Added disable_functions php.ini directive, to allow administrators to disable
>    certain functions for security reasons (Zeev)

>    "5;/tmp" instead of "5:/tmp" (Andi)
> - Changed the Apache handler's return status to 'Declined' when a requested
>    PHP file could not be found.  Returning 'Not Found' caused problems
>    in the ErrorDocument handler stage in that $REDIRECT_REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES
>    was not getting set at all.  Moving to 'Declined' should fix this and I
>    can't see any other side effects.  (Rasmus)
> - Fixed scanning decimal numbers in internationalized environments. They should
>    always be in standard US format e.g. 23.3. (Andi, Zend Engine)
> - Added second argument to preg_quote() which allows quoting of
>    one additional character, usually the regex delimiter. (Andrei)
> - Uncommitted outstanding OCI8 transactions are now rolled back
>    before the connection is closed. (Thies)
> - ignore_user_abort() & friends should now work in CGI mode as well.
>    (Patch by daniel.braun@ercom.fr)
> - Added extension YAZ (dickmeiss).
> - Fixed a crash bug triggered by certain cases of class redeclarations
>    (Stanislav & Zeev, Zend Engine)
> - Fixed min()/max() segfault. (Andrei)
> - New module for reading EXIF header data from JPEG files.  Most digital
>    cameras will embed all sorts of information about a picture inside the
>    jpeg images it generates.  (Rasmus)
> - Fixed basename() bug where "file.ext///" would not return the same
>    as "/path/file.ext///" (Rasmus)
> - Added the swf_ortho function. (Sterling)
> - Moved to virtual current working directory support. This highly improves the
>    functionality and stability of multi-threaded versions of PHP (Andi, Sascha)
