http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.1.1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. * Native date class is withdrawn to prevent namespace conflict with PEAR's date package. * Fixed fatal parse error when the last line of the script is a PHP comment. * eval() hangs when the code being evaluated ends with a comment. * Usage of \{$var} in PHP 5.1.0 resulted in the output of {$var} instead of the $var variable's value enclosed in {}. * Fixed inconsistency in the format of PHP_AUTH_DIGEST between Apache 1 and 2 sapis. * Improved safe_mode/open_basedir checks inside the cURL extension.
Will be in portage when ready... Meanwhile, you can try the ebuild from PHP overlay - http://svn.gnqs.org/projects/gentoo-php-overlay/
PHP 5.1.1. in Portage now. Best regards, CHTEKK.
