Hi,

I made local patches in fopen_wrappers.c to get some apache
environment variables like:

  myptr = sapi_getenv("VH_VAR_ROOT", strlen("VH_VAR_ROOT") TSRMLS_CC);


But it's causing a segfault when used in php_fopen_with_path()

However, when used in php_check_open_basedir() it works fine.

I guess something related to the sapi has not been initialized yet
when the problems occurs, but I don't know enough about the PHP source
code yet, to see what that might be.

Can anyone tell me what to check for, before calling sapi_getenv()
