You are right: it's a bug between Apache 2 and PHP 4.2.x.  You can
change each occurrence of getenv() to $_SERVER(), and that will fix it. 
The affected files are index.php and /includes/security.php.  I've made
the change to $_SERVER() in the CVS (but the files are not fully
compatible with ver 2.02 - so don't grab them).

The bug also been listed in Red Hat bugzilla for PHP, and the recent
errata update of PHP (for RH8) is meant to have fixed the bug.

Sorry - made a typo in one of my previous emails to this list.  Should
be phpinfo().
