Ah ha - I found the --with-use-script-url compile option which fixed
everything that's actually broken. 

However, I am having an aesthetic issue (cannot believe how petty this
user is_ with the _SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"] and _ENV["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]
variables, which BOTH have 2 extra slashes between the directory path
and the filename:

They show (e.g.): /files/home1/inttestpn1///phpinfo.php
They should show: /files/home1/inttestpn1/phpinfo.php

But I am failling to see where they are being introduced.  On a similar
vein, the PATH_TRANSLATED variable has the username in
twice: /files/home1/inttestpn1/inttestpn1/phpinfo.php for no obvious
reason.  None of these errors are giving me any functionality headaches,
purely aesthetic (i.e. the users see the contents are wrong and
complain, ignoring the fact the the contents aren't used or have slashes
in that don't make a difference)

Can anyone advise where these extra slashes and an extra username might
be coming from?

Thanks

Gary
