Phil Copeland @ redhat pointed me at this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=72752
Seems that there are a number of issues (i'm going to verify & patch his fixes right now). The other he mentions is mbstring seems to cause problems. I have experienced this too. Guys, i don't want to be mean or sound racist or anything else you throw at me. But mbstring really isn't a core module, and very few people will require kr/zh/ru style encoding. I vote to remove mbstring as a default module. And for those who say that i could just disable it -- well, the converse is true. Let us STOP burdening default builds with crap that is unlikely to be used. -- james -- James Cox :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: http://james.blogs.at/ Was I helpful? http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/wishlist/23IVGHQ61RJGO/ -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
