Description:
------------
My version of PHP is PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.5. I did some upgrades a few hours/days back and I noticed that my XMLRPC responses are decoded as NULL by the xmlrpc_decode() function. As I experimented around this function, I found that it is sensitive to leading whitespace. When leading whitespace is present (a newline in my case), xmlrpc_decode() returns NULL. When ltrim() is used on the string before passed into xmlrpc_decode(), output is alright. Presence of whitespace present at the end of the string does not have any effect.

Summary: xmlrpc_decode() is sensitive to leading whitespace and it should not be.

That's expected. That's part of the XML specification. There should be no data before the xml declaration. Kalle, please revert.
