Client IE4.01 (NN4.05 works !?!?!)
Apache 126 with php as module

echo(nl2br($newtext));

This line stops script execution when the variable
$newtext is filled by a form POST from a textarea from IE401 AND the last character typed in the textarea is a RETURN.

whereas

printf(nl2br($newtext));

works !

The output is ends exactly AFTER this line.


nl2br seems to be the problem, but i can only find this:

Line 829 of functions/string.c should be

result->value.str.len = (len+(char_count*(to_len-1)))+1;

because the string gets longer by (to_len-1) for each occurence of the inchar and not by to_len, because the inchar is 1 byte long for itself.
