David, So what exactly is the cause of the bug? Is different html of javascript being generated by different versions of PHP? Is it a matter of warningnotices and errors being raised in the code producing the javascript?
Also, why not install a seperate copy of apache and php in a seperate directory that you built from source? You can run apache on a port other than 81 and see if the problem still exists. I have a hunch though that warning are being inserted into the output code that your other php configuration places in a log file. Check the PHP.INI settings.
