With php 3.x and php4 when you parse POST messgae, you don't test the "complete boundary" ( i.e --boundary) for each kind off DataType 
But some "CGI client" like perl 5.0.x check complete boundary for validate his send (ie they test if --$boundary is not present in DATA sending).
In the case of perl, I report the problem because the default boundary is "000" (Zero..Zero).
So when I send MultiPart and Field with alue equal to "X000" (like Y2K --> 2000) php don't receive all data and hang up.

I check PHP3 (mime.c) and PHP4 beta 2 (rfc1867.c) the problem is the same.
Could you make some think to correct this feature, Like NEWBOUNDARY.

Best Regards.
Pascal FROMENT

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.
