php3 sigfaults when processing data coming from multipart POST operation in line 187 of functions/mime.c, as sbuf variable is used unconditionally in call to strlen(), when it is only sometimes initialized to anything non-NULL in state 1.
Stack trace follows, core file available on request.

Here's an html to generate request which causes crash when posted to any php3 file (I'm using IE 5.0 as browser). Neither name nor content of file entered in "userfile" input control seem to matter.

<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>

<FORM  ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="http://somehost/somefile.php3" METHOD=POST>
<input type="hidden" name="f_process" value="postattach">
<INPUT NAME="userfile" TYPE="file">
<input type=submit name=regular_submit value="Send file">

</body>

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately, PHP 3 is no longer supported. Please download
the latest version of PHP 4 from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.
