Description of problem:
php pages that try to use multipart/form-data encoding will end up with
crlf data prepended to all data values.  i noticed a redhat supplied patch
in the source rpm, so i removed that and recompiled and things worked just
fine.  the patch claims to be trying to fix problems with unquoted variable
names, but i haven't spent any time try to reproduce that problem.  so that
patch needs to be removed, or reworked.  i noticed another bug report about
php that just said that php didn't work anymore after the patches, so this
could be the problem they saw.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
<html>
<head>
<title>
foo
</title>
</head>
<body>
<?
        if ($foo != "") {
                echo "<pre>\n";
                for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($foo); $i++) {
                        echo ord(substr($foo, $i, 1)), "\n";
                }
                echo "</pre>";
        }
?>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method=post>
<input type=text name=foo length=40>
<input type=submit>
</form>
</body>
</html>

There is a php errata that I've made thats in the works for the 7.x series and
AS2.1, I'll be making a 6.2 errata this week but I cannot give an estimate on
how long it will be in QA before release (the 7.x stuff has been in the QA queue
for 5 weeks already)..
