A trivial fix will be to switch to strncpy to avoid this buffer overflow, but this doesn't explain why a run condition come with a sql_state = "Copy command failed" which is not a standard 5 char error code.

FYI, the proper fix is on master now:

http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=baabd1192973156ac79c35f6d1b0dced4af8e8fb

I have left the strlen check in place, maybe we should really use strncpy instead now.
