7390,"forbiddance of ini_set('include_path', ...) function causes fatal error at revision feature",codestyling,anonymous,"The newly introduced revision feature uses PHP ini_set() function but must not. Several provider doesn't permit setting ''php.ini'' values especially the ''include_path'', which should be temporary switched during load of Text/Diff files. The fatal error resulting looks like this out of real customer occurance:

{{{

This error affects all editor pages won't longer behave as expected. Moreover some provider doesn't show any errors and silently abort the engine. This results in white pages served!
I have attached a patch suggestion (containing 4 file from WP 2.6.0) which doesn't use ini_set() anymore but all require calls now using _ _FILE_ _ evaluation of their appropriated complete file path. Has been successful tested at this affected system. Can also be simulated, if you comment the ''ini_set()'' inside '''pluggable.php''' ''function wp_text_diff()''.
