Seems to be a bug in 4.3.2 - downgraded to 4.3.0 and get_browser() is
able to detect the platform of much more HTTP_USER_AGENT strings now.

Just figured out that get_browser() does not return a fixed set of
informations - the platform information is only given if resolved.
It can't resolve most versions of Internet Explorer 6, not sure if this
is a bug or a weakness of the browscap.ini.

Description:
------------
The object returned from get_browser() function does not contain the
platform information as described in the documentation and as usual in
prior versions.
It's more a missing feature than a bug, but it brings some old scripts
relying on this feature into trouble.
The browscap.ini is the latest "official" one from Gary Keith.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$browser = get_browser();
foreach ($browser as $name => $value) {
print "<b>$name</b> $value <br />\n";
}
