Unless you specify / at the end PHP will allow any path that will be
begin with a specified string. Meaning that if /a/b/c is specified then
/a/b/cde will be allowed. A note about this exists for nearly all
directory limiting function, however it is absent from the docs on the
safe_mode_include_dir option. Consquently, I am making this report a
documentation issue.

I found that safe_mode_include_dir check is not correct.
Here's why:
resolved_name (the path in question) and ptr (a next directory from the
safe_mode_include_dir list) are compared so:
if (strncmp(ptr, resolved_name, strlen(ptr) ==0 )
let ptr="/var/www/script" and resolved_name="/var/www/scripts"
obviously, they will match though it's wrong.
It is necessary to add an extra check for trailing char
(valid one is either a slash or \0)
In fact, checking lengthes of those may save a bit CPU time
(especially with the long list).
Here's suggested patch (it also is available at
http://www.cf1.ru/~byg/patch/php/safe_mode_include_dir.patch
ftp://ftp.cf1.ru/pub/patches/php/safe_mode_include_dir.patch
