That's correct. At the time when Woody released (more than two years
ago AFAICR) that php4 package was stabilized in Debian.

There is, but not for Woody, at least not officialy. A quick search on
www.apt-get.org revealed that there's a 4.3.4 version of php4 -
unofficial ones ofcourse. The sources.list entry for this:
deb http://debian.moolfreet.com ./

You need to switch for Sarge if you can do it - it's currently in
'testing' status, and works well for me; but you have to evaluate it for
yourself.

Try to change your TERM variable to something without colours, I think
'export TERM=vt100' (or your shell equailent(?) would do the trick).
Hope this helps,
