PHP_SELF incorrect on WIMP shared host

My host is running WIMP and has set up shared configuration.

Lets say the address is

http://kevin.host.com

Now, the actual directory is c:\inetpub\wwwroot\kevin

If I check PHP_SELF from a test file, it reports it as /kevin/test.php
instead of /test.php leading me to believe that there is something
amuck with his setup.

4.3.4 is the version of PHP he is running. Needless to say, this plays
havock with any script that uses the PHP_SELF and I have worked around
it by hard coding paths that I shouldn't need to.

The host and I are both scratching our heads at this. This is their
first trip in the PHP world, and I have never seen this (worked fine on
apache) so I am at a loss.

Can someone point me to an answer?
