Cannot set global `include_path` in Quercus

Question

I am unable to set persistent php.ini-style parameters in Quercus 4.0.36.

As an example, the include_path parameter can be set from code, either using ini_set or set_include_path, and the include path is updated. However, none of the documented ways of setting that parameter application-wide seem to work for me.

Any attempts to set an alternate php.ini location, or even php.ini settings directly from web.xml have been unsuccessful.

I've deployed quercus-4.0.36.war and either changed or uncommented the following lines from the original web.inf:

<web-app [...]>
    <servlet>
        [...]
        <init-param>
            <param-name>ini-file</param-name>
            <param-value>WEB-INF/php.ini</param-value>
        </init-param>
        [...]
        <init>
            <ini-file>WEB-INF/php.ini</ini-file>
        </init>
        [...]
        <init>
            <php-ini>
                <include_path>.:WEB-INF/classes</include_path>
            </php-ini>
        </init>
        [...]
    </servlet>
</web-app>

Both phpinfo and get_include_path's outputs are unaltered when setting any of the above parameters.

Is there anything else I should be doing in order to set include_path application- or system-wide?

It looks like the behaviour was caused by a bug that has been fixed for 4.0.37.
