Geez tensions are running high.

I am the tester for PEAR, and I tested the PEAR Installer (I do not test
the gazillion packages that I don't maintain) and it worked great with
PHP 5.1.4.  PEAR doesn't use $_POST and I did not detect any errors.

In the past I have found at least 4 PHP bugs when testing PEAR with PHP.
 The fact is, most of the bugs I find are found the instant they are
introduced as I use the CVS of PHP_5_X for my testing.  In fact the
system is working quite well from my end, but I can't vouch for other
projects.
