include relative suddenly stopped working ???

I've had it. I'm going nuts trying to figure this out and it's the gods-honest truth that I haven't changed anything on my computer....

Yesterday, including relative links WORKED.

Today, the same phpMyAdmin, same server, same everything gives the error

Warning:  main(./libraries/grab_globals.lib.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /[...]/web/phpadmin/index.php on line 8

Fatal error:  main() [function.main]: Failed opening required './libraries/grab_globals.lib.php' (include_path='/usr/local/lib/php:./') in /[..]/web/phpadmin/index.php on line 8

Nothing has changed in php.ini - the include path is set, as it has always been, to
include_path = ".:/usr/local/lib/php"

The period is there to allow relative linking. It isn't a problem with phpmyadmin, since all my scripts fail if they use relative links. Hard-linked code works

WTF????
Server is Mac OS X 10.2.8 with PHP 4.3

well this thing suggests that your current directory is the root directory.
"No such file or directory in /[...]" does libraries directory exist in the root directory?

sorry, wasn't clear
/[...]/ was me abbreviating the full path to the file that was called (the path is rather long, so I left it out with [...])
