Description:
------------
pdf_show_boxed() normally wraps lines between words.  If a string containing unbroken characters is fed to pdf_show_boxed() such that the unbroken characters render to a width wider than the width value supplied to pdf_show_boxed() it will cause a seg fault because it does not know where/how to wrap the lines.

I do realise that pdf_show_boxed() is deprecated and that the problem is almost certain to be with the underlying library.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$string="A string with a lot of unbroken characters QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ";
pdf_show_boxed($pdf,$string,$lmargin,$bottom_margin,$width,$height,"left","");

Expected result:
----------------
I would expect pdf_show_boxed to break the string like so:

A string with a lot of unbroken characters
QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ

Actual result:
--------------
Segmentation fault

We are sorry, but we can not support PHP 4 related problems anymore.
Momentum is gathering for PHP 6, and we think supporting PHP 4 will
lead to a waste of resources which we want to put into getting PHP 6
ready.
