Package: php4-sqlite
Version: 1.0.2-9
Severity: important

On amd64 the sqlite_escape_string function is faulty and causes PHP to
kill the script due to PHP's internal memory limit being reached.

An example script that reproduces this problem is:

<?php
echo sqlite_escape_string("a");
?>

Running this script will result in an error message such as:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate -1969234011 bytes) in /var/www/test.php on line 2

The string passed to sqlite_escape_string and the value of the PHP
memory limit do not effect the behaviour of the bug. The number of bytes
attempted to allocate seems completely bogus.

php5-sqlite (linked against the same libsqlite0) is not affected and
neither is php4-sqlite on i386.

This bug is currently breaking the PHPwiki package on amd64 systems.
