To my knowledge, PHPUnit does not alter any INI settings except for 
"xdebug.show_local_vars" unless the optional "-d" argument is given to 
the command line runner specifying which INI settings to change.

Its TestCase class also provides a wrapper method for ini_set().  This 
allows INI settings to be temporarily changed and the fixture state 
automatically restored at teardown:
http://phpunit.de/browser/phpunit/tags/3.0.0alpha18/PHPUnit/Framework/TestCase.php

PHPUnit avoids the interpreter halting on compile-time errors by linting 
with `php -l` before calling include():
