[wp-testers] Automatic upgrade still failing

[Ben Huson]

I just had problems with automatic updates on my hosting with 1&1.
I noticed that by default this hosting runs PHP4 but I could set it to
use PHP5 in htaccess:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

After doing this the automatic update worked fine.
Is the auto-update functionality PHP5 only?
