Description:
------------
YP/NIS server is a Solaris 2.7 Sparc.
PHP clients are Debian GNU/Linux Intel (several versions). (php version 4.1.2, at the beginning).

It looks like there is some problems with (non)null terminated strings in yp_first and yp_next functions.

The following patch sanitizes the outkey in yp_first and yp_next (code taken from yp_cat), and removes the unneeded warning from bug #12345, "[16 Oct 2002 9:14am EDT] tshort at cisco dot com"

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$entry = yp_first($domain, $map);
$key = $entry ["key"];
echo "key #" . $key . "# value #" . $entry["value"]."#\n";

while ($entry) {
  $entry = yp_next($domain, $map, $key);
  if ($entry) {
    $key = key ($entry);
    $yplist[$key] = $entry[$key];
    echo "key #" . $key . "# value #" . $entry[$key]."#\n";
  } 
}
?>


Expected result:
----------------
### With PHP 3.0.18 (from Debian GNU/Linux Woody), this script works.

key #goodkey1# value #goodvalue1#
key #goodkey2# value #goodvalue2#
(...)
key #goodkey3# value #goodvalue3#

### With PHP 4.1.2 (from Debian GNU/Linux Woody) + php-4.3.4/ext/yp/yp.c + patch

It works.

Actual result:
--------------
### With PHP 4.1.2 (from Debian GNU/Linux Woody), this script fails.

key #goodkey1# value #goodvalue1#
key #goodkey2# value ##
(...)
key #goodkey3# value ##
<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  No more records in map database in <b>foobar.php</b> on
line <b>11</b><br />

Debug with serialization and print_r:

a:3:{s:7:"goodkey1_without_last_char";s:99:"goodvalue1";s:3:"key";s:8:"goodkey1";s:5:"value";s:99:"goodvalue1";}
Array
(
    [goodkey1+garbage] => goodvalue1
    [key] => goodkey1
    [value] => goodvalue1
)
key #goodkey1# value #goodvalue1#
a:1:{s:7:"goodkey2_without_last_char";s:93:"goodvalue2";}
Array
(
    [goodkey2+garbage] => goodvalue2
)
key #goodkey2# value ##

### With PHP 4.1.2 (from Debian GNU/Linux Woody) + php-4.3.4/ext/yp/yp.c (I believe it's equivalent to a full PHP 4.3.4 for this test)

Same wrong results.
