This is apparently a known PHP bug in PHP 4.3, fixed in PHP 5 since 2003. http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25670

Are you running PHP 4.3 or lower ? Glossary 2, just like current versions of Drupal overall, works well with PHP 5, so I suggest you try using PHP5 instead. Or maybe they fixed it in 4.4 too; you can try that if you don't want to move to PHP5. Although, with PHP6 on the radar, I would spend too much time on 4.x nowadays.

Since the PHP group won't fix it in 4.3, I don't think it reasonable to fix it for them. I've added a note to the README for that case.

The problem no longer applies to the 6.x branch : the module just won't install on PHP 4.x, so it the issue can no longer happen.

In that sense, it is now fixed.
