Server and PHP config aspects? ... "Register as a new user" does not execute ...
After the current tests, the most probable conclusion is:
The very improbably "unfreeze" of the problem by 1 use from Windows XP - this was apparently not the case.
Tikiwiki 1.9.8.3 probably can have the observed problems for a specific configuration of the server, and typically for newest PHP of late 2007. - I am not sure, but I suppose....
The observed case where it suddenly worked, was perhaps due to a meantime re-configuration of the server, and there is (now) in fact some specific ("unsafe") feature of PHP activated on that server (not on the other server). I know that this hoster was involved in trouble-shooting for the Fantastico packages, staff members working on it these weeks and days.
So the next test is to implement TIKI 1.9.9. and/or 1.10. (where this code segment got some modification) Then it will be discussed on the hosters forums (staff-supported) if/how Tikiwiki could be backed + pre-installed from now, to make sure for me that server configuration will in the future always be kept Tikiwiki-aware.
The more I tested + studied the inner working, the more I discovered the top qualities of Tikiwiki. The current minor problem - analyzed by these messages - will surely be mastered. - After success, I will latr try to contribute also a bit. The only most-used functionality which I did not find so far for/on Tiki, is a shopping cart on top of it. I did not yet really search for it... And if not yet done, I am sure, it will come earlier or later...
Comments, help, inspirations are welcome. - The final conclusions will be added here when the job is dcne.
