I have seen the same error on an (externally managed) OpenBSD system
after I upgraded SquirrelMail to version 1.4.5; so it's not just OS X
Server which got affected by this PHP problem.

To get around the problem back then, I modified that particular part
of the SM source to avoid the troublesome PHP function; since then I
have upgraded to SM 1.5.1 which has completely new code and worked
out of the box.

        Apple apparently fixed this in today's Security Update
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303453>:
