Last week PHP 5.2.7 was released. And i have it running here on my dev box. But this weekend the 5.2.7 version was pulled of the download page. Due to a serious security bug concerning magic_quotes. Even when enabled it remains off. The advice for now is to stick with 5.2.6 and wait for the 5.2.8 release.
So this will not be seen on a lot of systems i figure :)
