Comment 28 for bug 564920

Regarding the SRU to lucid:
https://code.launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/ubuntu/lucid/php5/lucid-sru-lp564920/+merge/32803

IMPACT:

This bug fix is intended to make it possible to access/download large files. Users who attempt it now are given a file of the wrong size (silently) as the pointer appears to wrap.

DEV RELEASE STATUS(maverick):

This has been fixed in version 5.3.3-1ubuntu3 in Maverick

TEST CASE:

Please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/564920/comments/4

REGRESSION:

This fix is known to regress the upstream bug fix to php bug #48309

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48309

However, that bug is far less critical than this one, as it can be worked around in php code, while this cannot.
