This code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>str_repeat</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<?
	print(str_repeat("PHP!<BR>\n", 10));
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>

produces this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>str_repeat</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
PHP!<BR>
PHP!<BR>
PHP!<BR>
PHP!<BR>
PHP!<BR>
PHP!<BR>
PHP!<BR>
PHP!<BR>
PHP!<BR>
PHP!<BR>
 </BODY>
</HTML>

Note the extra space just before the closing body tag.

I have not been able to reproduce this with the latest CVS. Could
you try it with the latest version and see if it happens?

No response for quite a while...
If the problem persists with 4.0.0, please submit a new bug report.

echo strlen(str_repeat("a",3));

will output "4" on php4.0 beta 3, which proves that str_repeat deliberately adds one character to the end of the string. 

when tested with a later version (php 4.0.5) this error did not occur anymore.
