 I installed a fresh copy of WordPress 3.2.1

 When in the Admin section > Settings > General Settings and I save, I get
 an Error 500.

 This server configuration is ok : it has PHP 5.2.10 and MySQL 5.0.

 I debugged the code to see where the error was coming from.  As weird as
 it sounds, the error comes from:

 File: `wp-includes/update.php`

 Function : `_maybe_update_core`

 Error line: `include (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/version.php'); // include an
 unmodified $wp_version`

 As a developer, I know what you're thinking: WTF ?!  If I print something
 and exit before this line : no problem.  If I try to print something after
 this line, I get the error 500.  I checked the version.php error and it
 only contains variable.

 I did a file_get_contents on the file and I could get the content.

 Seriously, I really don't have any clue about what the problem is.

 If needed, I can provide private credentials to this account so that tests
 can be run.

 This error makes WordPress unusable.  The server has all requirements
 asked to run WordPress.

 I also have other instances (3-4) of WordPress (before 3.2) that runs
 without any problems on the same server.
