Hi Dmitry,

This patch breaks binary compatibility.
It cannot be broken in 4.3.x tree, and that doesn't make sense to release
4.4 just for this patch.
You mean that they think that it doesn't make sense to fix PHP in cases
where it's totally broken? I think that's totally irresponsible
behavior. Thousands of people still use PHP 4 for good reasons. If you
look correctly through the bug database you'll find atleast 10 bugs
related to strange segfaults and some have been confirmed to be related
to references that crash PHP.
I think we should definitely put this in a PHP release, although the
patch doesn't fix all segfaults yet.
(Patch is at:
http://files.derickrethans.nl/patches/ze1-return-reference-20050429.diff.txt)
I also agree that these issues need to be fixed inside the 4.x tree.
What would be the motivation no to release a 4.4 to fix these issues?
Beating users with a stick towards PHP 5?
regards,
Lukas
