Bug description: Seg Fault when urlencoding a binary string
If we pass a binary string which contains a byte with
an ASCII value of "0" to urlencode, then PHP will segfault.
This short script will demonstrate the problem. Notice
that I am using urldecode because I have no way
of printing an ascii value of 0.
<?
$initString = "%00an%3E";
$binaryString = urldecode($initString);
$encodedString = urlencode($binaryString);
?>
I believe the problem is in file ../ext/standard/url.c
and in function php_url_encode(). This function uses
allocates memory for the new string after determining
the length of the input string via strlen(). However, a
binary string could contain a byte with a value of zero,
thereby yielding a shorter string length and not enough
memory allocated.
I'll also include a suggested patch below.

P.S. Thanks for working on PHP, it's a fantastic language
and I appreciate your effort.
