Description of problem: The imageftbbox() function requires 4 arguments, with an optional fifth argument. Due to a bug, the fifth argument is required. This was fixed in PHP 4.3.5. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): php-4.3.2-40.ent How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. PHP script that calls imageftbbox() with 4 arguments Actual results: PHP Warning: Wrong parameter count for imageftbbox() Expected results: Normal output of function Additional info: Getting around this bug requires passing an array (can be empty) as a fifth argument. However, if using prefab PHP scripts, this requires custom modification to the script. This may not be possible in certain cases ("encoded" PHP scripts), making the only options a custom "wrapper" for this function, or upgrading PHP to a version not provided by Red Hat for v3. None of these are acceptable options. Should be a simple bugfix to backport and include, particularly if a bugfix or security release is being made for other reasons.
Thank you for submitting this issue for consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The release for which you requested us to review is now End of Life. Please See https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/ If you would like Red Hat to re-consider your feature request for an active release, please re-open the request via appropriate support channels and provide additional supporting details about the importance of this issue.
Thanks Jiri. If this bug had been fixed 5 years ago, that would've been useful, but I think that closing it WONTFIX now is acceptable. That said, I hope that this is an unfortunate exception, and not representative of Red Hat policy or methodology for managing workload of bug queues, i.e. ignoring the bug for 5 years until it's past EOL.
