Hi,

I am using custom streams for the LOB support in PEAR::MDB2.
It seems that things work nicely on PHP 4.4 and PHP 5.1.0RC1. However 
using todays windows 5.0.x binarys from snaps.php.net still give me 
errors. Atleast there is still bug that leads to the stream_eof() return 
being flipped (false becomes true).

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=27508

Seems to indicate this is fixed in CVS, so maybe the problem is that 
nobody thought we would see 5.0.5?

regards,
Lukas

Not critical enough to try and find the fix.
     Just use 5.1. As far as I'm concerned, 5.0 is dead along with 4.4 :)

Sure.
But why even bother with 5.0.5 .. or more specifically whats the purpose 
of 5.0.5? I presume there are other bugs which will follow the same fate 
and usually "fixed in CVS" means will be fixed in the next bugfix 
release for that minor version if one gets released. So I presume alot 
of users will be surprised when they find that numerous bugs they would 
expect to be fixed in a 5.0.5 release.

If however 5.0.5 never comes to light, then those users will know that 
they will need to move to 5.1.0 to get the fixes for "fixed in CVS".

regards,
Lukas

     Feel free to go through every commit and check if it was MFH'd. :)

     I'd like to skip 5.0.5 and go with 5.1 instead. We just don't have
     enough resources to be able to handle 4 branches. (4.4, 5.0, 5.1, HEAD)

For this particular case, I'd just use `version_compare()` and check for
PHP 5.1 and up.

It seems "cleaner" to not flip the meaning back to what it should be
in a minor release, just because nobody ever reads the release notes,
and most people think that it should be returning based on inverted
logic.

Yes, it sucks.
