Clean install of J1.6/CiviCRM 4.0.1 Error: Smarty_Compiler.class.php on line 270

So I'm getting this on both an attempted upgrade and a completely fresh install and it was working just fine with the previous version.  One of my clients started getting a smarty error with one of their event registrations, so I found a post on here where it was recommended that I clean the template_c folder out. I did, and started getting this error which completely crashes the Joomla backend:

Fatal error: preg_replace() [<a href='function.preg-replace'>function.preg-replace</a>]: Failed evaluating code: '{php' . str_repeat(&quot; &quot;, substr_count('{* Check for Status message for the page (stored in session-&gt;getStatus). Status is cleared on retrieval. *}', &quot; &quot;)) .'}' in /home/danetidw/public_html/novemberllc/jointcra/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/packages/Smarty/Smarty_Compiler.class.php on line 270

I thought it might be a problem with my installation, so I went and did a clean install of Joomla 1.6.3 and CiviCRM 4.0.1. Click on the civicrm menu item in the backend and it again completely crashes the Joomla admin backend with the same error.

Anyone at all? It has to be something with CiviCRM as I've tried installing it in three different directories, all fresh installs, deleting everything unused on my server -- I've done everything I can possibly think of that might have been a server setup issue.

As it is, unless its a misconfiguration by my hosting company that I can't fix, the most recent version of Joomla with the CiviCRM component is completely useless.

Thanks Lobo --

They upgraded the php security on my server. PHP 5.2.9 suhosin blocks the eval command so to rectify, your host has to allow a custom php.ini to be installed in each of the directories that CiviCRM is in.

I've attached mine as a txt file, but a2 said the code would probably depend on the provider.

That's interesting I've been struggling with similar errors on my websites with A2 Hosting. In the end I asked them to reset my file permissions as if it was a new account and that fixed most of the problems. I can now get access to my CiviCRM install but I'm still having some random problems on the contribution pages.

I'm also on A2 and had same error message.  Reverted from PHP 5.3.6 TO 5.3.4 will good result.
