Alex:

Your version of php, according to Hardened PHP was vulnerable to a 
series of "easy to exploit" vulnerabilitys. Interested to know wether 
you were in fact running any of the software they mentioned, 
phpbb/phpads(new)/Invision etc.

Take a look, http://www.hardened-php.net/advisories/012004.txt - that 
quite well may be the reason.

Best of luck!
