[Bug 227464] Re: PHP 5.2.6 fixes important security bugs

[Dustin Kirkland]

These are the security fixes as shown in the current changelog at:
        http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php

I chased down the CVS commit log messages against 5_2 for each of these.
Most of the fixes look relatively compact, with the exception of the
last, which is comparatively huge.
