I can't find the reference, I think it's come up on the pear-dev list several
times though.

I believe the reasoning is to avoid paths that look different but are the same
(../../foo.php vs. ../foo.php from the parent dir, for example) so that code
caches, etc. can behave more efficiently.

So maybe a set_include_path() call somewhere in the test? Dunno...
