[php-maint] Apache Segfaults on mysql_fetch_field()

[Steve Redlich]

Hi,

I am running Debian Stable and manage to crash apache when installing 
WordPress into a user's webspace.

Commenting out a call to mysql_fetch_field() makes the crash go away.

http://www.phpdoc.info/commits/3720  shows what might be a fix for this 
problem  (PHP bug #31288)  Is this fix in Debian Stable?

Please let me know if I should be reporting this thru the bug system. I 
didn't want to report it there if it was already a known problem.

I will aslo be checking with WordPress to see if they need to call 
mysql_list_fields() before using mysql_fetch_field().

Thanks,
