Any form submitted with a <form> tag containing  
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"  will produce extraneous carriage 
returns preceeding any submitted data. If the ENCTYPE isn't 
specified this problem doesn't occur. This only seems to happen in 
the new update php-4.0.4pl1-3. I have included a form and the PHP 
script that documents the error on our system.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an HTML form with a tag of  <FORM 
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="form_process.php" 
METHOD=POST>

2. In the receiving script, print out a form field. Use either the <PRE> 
tag, or look at the source to see the newline character inserted before 
the form field.
3.
	

This bug doesn't become severe until dealing with databases. The 
extra newline causes problems with matching for foreign keys. It 
seems like a logical fix would be to remove the 
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" part of the form tag. However, 
according to PHP, this part is required when doing file uploads.

Please check if the errata candidates in http://people.redhat.com/nalin/test/
fix this for you.  I'm quite certain that this is the same as bug #24933.
