[wp-hackers] Installation dead

[Brian Dupuis]

I have since discovered that this is a problem with the 4.3.10 version 
of PHP (released very recently and installed on my host's server this 
morning) and a previous version of the Zend Optimizer. My host just 
apparently did it in the wrong order and broke everyone on their 
servers. Hope this doesn't hit anyone else, because it's rather 
mindblowing trying to wrap your head around.
