OK, I've searched throughout the forums and can't see anyone else who has reported this.
I have a fresh installation of Drupal 5.1 that went down with a 500 error as soon as I activated the 'devel' module (no other third party modules are installed)

-- Running on Dreamhost with PHP 5.1.2
-- Fresh install of 5.1 - running the Aberdeen theme
-- I installed the 'devel' module and now the entire site reports 500 errors.

Is there an incompatibility somewhere with the version of PHP I'm running or the devel module itself?

Thanks,
-A

Update: I tested on another installation of Drupal which had PHP5 running. As soon as I installed Devel, the site was completely down, returning only 500 errors. After backing off to PHP4, the site is back up.

Anyone running the Devel module with PHP5?

I had the same problem running php5. Even after disabling the module in the database I still get a 500 error.

Yes, I was never able to go back to PHP5 even after disabling the module either. I had to simply revert to PHP4. I didn't try deleting the relevant lines from the database table (I think it's 'system') though.
