I am using RedHat 7 with all the latest bugfixes and security fixes ("up2date -u").

This weekend I updated to RedHat's latest PHP version, and now all files I upload is longer than they should have been and includes a line at the top that looks like "Content-Type: image/pjpeg" plus a blank line. 

Here is the shortest possible script ("upload.php3") to display the behaviour:

<HTLM><BODY>
<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="upload.php3" METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000">
Send this file: <INPUT NAME="userfile" TYPE="file">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send File">
</FORM>
<?
echo "\$userfile=".$userfile."<br>";
echo "\$userfile_name=".$userfile_name."<br>";
echo "\$userfile_size=".$userfile_size."<br>";
echo "\$userfile_type=".$userfile_type."<br>";
echo "is_uploaded_file=".is_uploaded_file($userfile)."<br>";
copy($userfile, "testfile");
?>
</BODY></HTML>

Here is the output produced for a sample jpeg of 41052 bytes:

$userfile=/tmp/phpHaOmjN
$userfile_name=J0144216.JPG
$userfile_size=41081
$userfile_type=
is_uploaded_file=1

As you can see, the file is 29 bytes longer than it should be...

Here is what I get when pressing the "send file" button without specifying a filename:

$userfile=/tmp/phpJryFlz
$userfile_name=
$userfile_size=42
$userfile_type=
is_uploaded_file=1

The file "uploaded" looks like this:
*** cut here ***
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

*** cut here ***


It seems to me that the content type description is ending up in the uploaded file rather than in the _type variable? I have changed my config files as little as possible, and I can't imagine I have been able to do something this stupid all on my own?
