Description available here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/930115


Basically the attached patch does replace the second location of 
PG(magic_quotes_gpc) with the zend_alter_ini_entry_ex:


-       PG(magic_quotes_gpc) = magic_quotes_gpc;
+
+       if (magic_quotes_gpc) {
+               zend_alter_ini_entry_ex("magic_quotes_gpc", 
sizeof("magic_quotes_gpc"), "1", 1, ZEND_INI_SYSTEM, ZEND_INI_STAGE_ACTIVATE, 1 
TSRMLS_CC);
+       }

I could be wrong, since my knowledge of PHP internals is lim(knowledge) = 0, but 
this seems to follow the logic of first change.

Ondřej's patch is the patch we went with in Ubuntu. I verified in our testing that it did address the issue.

I think this was fixed in r323016. Please verify.
 [2012-03-09 08:23 UTC] ondrej@php.net 
Nope, r323016 is the commit which broke it.

Please look at the patch and look at the broken code before jumping to 
conclusions.
