$e = new Exception();
$reflection = new ReflectionObject($e);
$property = $reflection->getProperty("file");
$property->setAccessible(true);
$property->setValue($e, null);
throw $e;
?>

Expected result:
----------------
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'Exception' in null:xx

Actual result:

I cannot reproduce this using VC9 TS builds on Windows, using 5.3.0 and 5.3.2-dev:

Probable strdup or strlen implementation on windows differs from linux.
Here is one of possible fix patches (on 5.3.0 release)

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Thanks for the patch, but I've committed a bit different fix avoiding this '(null)' in the message.
