Bug description:  behaviour change regarding symlinked .php files

Description:
------------
php-5.2.4 changed the behaviour for the current working directory (cwd)
which php scripts see when the requested php file is a symlink which points
to a php file in another directory.
It is still reproducible with php5.2-200709071230 (snapshot). php-5.2.3
worked fine. Reverting this commit [1] solves the problem.
I'm using the tarballs from php.net, no patches.

This change breaks certain Typo3 setups.

(Fixed bug #40419 (Trailing Slash in CGI request don't work))

Reproduce code:
---------------
(a web server, lighttpd in this case, is set up at 127.0.0.1:8000;
foo.php5.2.3 is handled by php5.2.3, foo.php5.2.5dev by
php5.2-200709071230; both binaries have the -n option passed; docroot is
/var/tmp/php)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/tmp/php $ mkdir foo
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/tmp/php $ echo '<?php print getcwd(); ?>' >
foo/bar.php
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/tmp/php $ ln -s foo/bar.php bar.php5.2.3
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/tmp/php $ ln -s foo/bar.php bar.php5.2.5dev
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/tmp/php $ curl http://localhost:8000/bar.php5.2.5dev
/var/tmp/php/foo
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/tmp/php $ curl http://localhost:8000/bar.php5.2.3
/var/tmp/php

Expected result:
----------------
>=php-5.2.4 should behave exactly as <php-5.2.4; above commands should
show "/var/tmp/php" (= the directory of the symlink; not the directory of
the target of the symlink).

Actual result:
--------------
getcwd() returns /var/tmp/php/foo -- the directory which contains the
target of the requested symlink.
