No feedback. If this happens with soon to be released PHP 4.0.5 too, reopen this bug
report.
Although this migth be PWS specific thing.
In which case you should change the webserver used.

Does the problem persist with PHP 4.0.4pl1 or the latest snapshot from
http://snaps.php.net/?

User repors it being PWS.

Which webserver is it?

My server is configured to retrieve a file called "index.php" by default. Thus the
following two URLs should give the same result:
(1) http://.../index.php?a=b&c=d
(2) http://.../?a=b&c=d
The statement...
...results in:
(1) a[b] c[d]
(2) a[] c[]
Thus, the parameters seem not to be decoded correctly in the second case.
Test with HTTP_GET_VARS show the same effect.
I use the precompiled windows version as found in the download section. And here is my
"php.ini":
[PHP]
;;;
; About this file ;
;;;
; This file controls many aspects of PHP's behavior. In order for PHP to
; read it, it must be named 'php.ini'. PHP looks for it in the current
; working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable
; PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order).
; Under Windows, the compile-time path is the Windows directory. The
; path in which the php.ini file is looked for can be overriden using
; the -c argument in command line mode.
;
; The syntax of the file is extremely simple. Whitespace and Lines
; beginning with a semicolon are silently ignored (as you probably guessed).
; Section headers (e.g. [Foo]) are also silently ignored, even though
; they might mean something in the future.
;
; Directives are specified using the following syntax:
; directive = value
; Directive names are *case sensitive* - foo=bar is different from FOO=bar.
;
; The value can be a string, a number, a PHP constant (e.g. E_ALL or M_PI), one
; of the INI constants (On, Off, True, False, Yes, No and None) or an expression
; (e.g. E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE), or a quoted string ("foo").
;
; Expressions in the INI file are limited to bitwise operators and parentheses:
; | bitwise OR
; & bitwise AND
; ~ bitwise NOT
; ! boolean NOT
;
; Boolean flags can be turned on using the values 1, On, True or Yes.
; They can be turned off using the values 0, Off, False or No.
;
; An empty string can be denoted by simply not writing anything after the equal
; sign, or by using the None keyword:
;
; foo = ; sets foo to an empty string
; foo = none ; sets foo to an empty string
; foo = "none"; sets foo to the string 'none'
;
; If you use constants in your value, and these constants belong to a dynamically
; loaded extension (either a PHP extension or a Zend extension), you may only
; use these constants *after* the line that loads the extension.
;
; All the values in the php.ini-dist file correspond to the builtin
; defaults (that is, if no php.ini is used, or if you delete these lines,
; the builtin defaults will be identical).
; Language Options ;
engine = On ; Enable the PHP scripting language engine
under Apache
short_open_tag = On ; allow the tags are recognized.
asp_tags= Off ; allow ASP-style <% %> tags
precision = 14 ; number of significant digits displayed in
floating point numbers
y2k_compliance = Off ; whether to be year 2000 compliant (will cause
problems with non y2k compliant browsers)
output_buffering= Off ; Output buffering allows you to send header lines
(including cookies)
; even after you send body
content, in the price of slowing PHP's
; output layer a bit.
; You can enable output
buffering by in runtime by calling the output
; buffering functions, or
enable output buffering for all files
; by setting this directive to
On.
