[php-maint] Bug#602812: Bug#602812: I can reproduce it

Wed Jan 12 09:44:48 UTC 2011

Hi Mattias and Richard,

I was able to confirm that the bug exists in the debian php (and
upstream is fine). I am now in process of testing which patch may
cause this, but it may take while, because Debian's 5.3.3-7 has
accumulated quite a lot of cherry picked upstream patches.
