Subject: Releasing 4.3.5pl1
From: andi@zend.com (Andi Gutmans)

Hi,

A pretty serious bug crept into 4.3.5.
A few weeks ago, a TSRM fix was commited which was supposed to prevent 
memory leaks when PHP ends its execution (shutdown dtor was not being 
called in tsrm_shutdown()). This fix causes a crash when a shared extension 
registers a dtor function. This is because the dtor is called after the 
extension is unloaded. Stas has commited a patch to TSRM which prevents the 
dtor call for now, which isn't very important because besides giving a warm 
fuzzy feeling, it's right before PHP shuts down and thus, memory leaks 
aren't important anyway. On a side note the per-thread dtor is still 
called, thus, eliminating leaks when threads are created/destroyed in 
multi-threaded servers.
I suggest we release 4.3.5pl1 with just this bug fix within the next couple 
of days as this is a crash bug which can happen on any MT server or MT-safe 
PHP builds (such as Windows CGI).
