[php-maint] Bug#668597: php5 creates weird files in /

[Ulf Hermann]

Package: php5
Version: 5.3.3-7+squeeze8
Severity: normal


Today I found the following files in /

root at devs:~# ls /
??????  ??????  bin   ?<??d?  data  etc   ?h?u??      ?L?ƥ?  lib64       media  opt     proc  sbin     srv  tmp     ???u??  usr  vmlinuz
?ʺ???   ?;??    boot  ??:?d?  dev   home  initrd.img  lib    lost+found  mnt    P?????  root  selinux  sys  ???u??  ???u??  var  ?w?ƥ?
root@

After renaming them I found the following contents:

root at devs:/# cat baum*

As only php is reading and interpreting /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/apc.ini that makes me suspect a bug in PHP here.
