Not yet been able to BUILD my own copy of PHP on windows and I don't have time 
as I am still TESTING 5.2.3!!!

Obviously they were not tested at all?
There may be some subtle reason why this has been changed and OUR current fix 
is to load a copy of the 5.2.1 version which fixes the bug - so until someone 
explains why it was changed then reverting works fine.

I had to give up switching to 5.2 as I did not have the time to fix all the 
problems that it was throwing up. 5.1.6 has been running fine in production! I 
created some time to work through all the problems and I now have a working 
5.2.3 installation - with some hacks to get round this bug, and now I need to 
spend time with 5.2.4RC1 WHEN the windows build is up.

Then it should be possible for someone who HAS commit rights to actually make 
it work? Currently the php_interbase driver is almost unusable in PHP5.2 as 
shipped, but the 5.2.1 copy works fine.
