Looks like everyone should patch up no? ...

BTW, does anyone run the hardened fork?  Im a little wierded out by  
this statement ...

-snip-
The PHP 5 branch of the PHP source code lacks the protection
    against possible integer overflows inside ecalloc() that is
    present in the PHP 4 branch and also for several years part of
    our Hardening-Patch and our new Suhosin-Patch.
-snip-

Several years?
