 I installed WP 2.2 on my 'testbed' on my Mac OSX PPC laptop.

 $ mysql -V
 mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.24a, for apple-darwin8.6.0 (powerpc) using
 readline 5.0

 $ php -v
 PHP 4.4.4 (cli) (built: Jan 19 2007 19:18:59)
 Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
 Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies

 This worked fine.

 I then deployed the new codebase to my site (
 http://www.stevengharms.com/badinst ) and you can see the results at this
 URL.  Basically all sorts of caching errors appeared.  This is similar to
 a number of unanswered support requests within the support system.

 Errors were like:

 `Warning: Illegal offset type in /home/steven/public_html/badinst/wp-
 includes/cache.php`

 The setup at that provider was:

 $mysql -V; php -v
 mysql  Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.27, for pc-linux-gnu (i686)

 PHP 4.3.10 (cli) (built: Jan 12 2005 11:54:18)
 Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group
 Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies
     with Zend Extension Manager v1.0.8, Copyright (c) 2003-2005, by Zend
 Technologies
     with Zend Optimizer v2.5.10, Copyright (c) 1998-2005, by Zend
 Technologies

 I then took this wordpress bundle, tarred and moved to another provider
 and it worked.  Their config was:

 $ mysql -V ; php -v
 mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.16, for pc-linux-gnu (i386) using readline
 5.0
 PHP 4.4.4 (cgi) (built: Nov  7 2006 13:14:18)
 Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
 Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies
     with Zend Extension Manager v1.2.0, Copyright (c) 2003-2006, by Zend
 Technologies
     with Zend Optimizer v3.2.2, Copyright (c) 1998-2006, by Zend
 Technologies

 In short it seems that there's something in the PHP codebase between 12.x
 and 14.x that makes or breaks the function of cache.php as currently
 coded.  Alternatively, the change could be in the mySQL versions.

 Does the development team have an instance of wp2.2 running successfully
 with:

 mysql  Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.27, for pc-linux-gnu (i686)

 and

 PHP 4.3.10 (cli) (built: Jan 12 2005 11:54:18)
