Deployed now.
Note that the effect of create_function() is to create a global function with a
random name and to return the name. Calling it in a loop will eventually use up
all memory, because there is no way to delete global functions once they are
created. For this reason alone, it shouldn't be used. But it is also slow,
requiring a parse operation that is uncached by APC, and it's insecure in the
sense that eval() is insecure: construction of PHP code can easily lead to
arbitrary execution if user input is included in the code.
