Well, enabling the tokenizer did the trick, if you have the ability to do so on your server then I guess that’s the solution. I’m not to sure what you can do if you can’t rebuild/change php settings.
I have the same problem :\, it appears to be because when php was installed on my server it was compiled with –disable-tokenizer. I am currently rebuilding php with tokenizer support and will report back with my findings after it is done (it takes a while to rebuild php.)
