So this is a (known) bug in php4-mysql, which also needs to be rebuilt
against libmysqlclient14.  This class of segfault is unfortunately
unavoidable during an soname transition; but that doesn't mean we should
stop updating libraries.  This bug will have to be fixed in php4-mysql, not
in libmysql-ruby1.8.

In any case, php4-mysql already *has* been rebuilt against libmysqlclient14,
but the update will not reach testing until the KDE C++ ABI transition takes
place (hopefully in the next week or so).
