Bug description: $_POST values are truncated
When checkboxes are used in a form with arrays (e.g. name=something[])
values retrieved from the resulting $_POST[something] array are trunacted.
In fact, the first 4 bytes are truncated.
If values are POSTED one by one, i.e. not via an array, things seem to
work.
The same script used to work on 4.2.2. I discovered this problem after
upgrading to 4.2.3
---sample form starts---
<html>
<head>
</head>
<form action="prob1.php" method="POST">
<input type=checkbox name=somevar[]
value="01234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstu">
01234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstu<br>
<input type=checkbox name=somevar[]
value="abcdefghijklmnopqrstu">abcdefghijklmnopqrstu<br>
<input type=checkbox name=somevar[] value="01234567">01234567<br>
<input type=checkbox name=somevar[] value="0123456">0123456<br>
<input type=checkbox name=somevar[] value="012345">012345<br>
<input type=checkbox name=somevar[] value="01234">01234<br>
<input type=checkbox name=somevar[] value="0123">0123<br>
<input type=checkbox name=somevar[] value="012">012<br>
<input type=checkbox name=somevar[] value="01">01<br>
<input type=checkbox name=somevar[] value="0">0<br>
<input type="submit" value="OK">
