Hello,

I think that the last `unserialize()` changes (2004-09-05) have broken it, 
because now I can't even do a simple 'pear list'.
I can reproduce this problem in both my two pcs.

Can someone check this problem, please?

Thanks,
Nuno

Nuno:

It would also be helpful to know what version of PEAR you are using, and 
in particular, the setting of magic_quotes_runtime.  Earlier PEAR 
versions choked on the unserialize statements in PEAR_Registry if this 
setting was on.

Hello Marcus,

PHP prints an error for every file in /usr/local/lib/php/.registry
One of those files: http://testes.aborla.net/pear.reg

prints:
"Notice: `unserialize()`: Error at offset 121 of 8404 bytes in test.php on 
line 5"

Nuno

This file is truncated, please verify that it indeed does not start with 
  a:{

A valid .reg file (for the Cache package) is attached, perhaps you could 
use it to test unserialize on your end.  I suspect something happened 
and a program ate something from your PEAR installation.

It doesn't work also with your file:
"Notice: `unserialize()`: Error at offset 26 of 5366 bytes in test2.php on 
line 4"
