Description:
------------
I think this is a known issue, but I'm placing it here for reference.

Passing a value of only HTML tags to input_get() crashes when using the default FS_STRING sanitizing filter.

Reproduce code:
---------------
URL:
http://example.org/test.php?foo=<p></p>

CODE:
<?php
var_dump(input_get(INPUT_GET, 'foo', FS_STRING));
?>

Expected result:
----------------
string(0) ""

-or-

NULL

Actual result:
--------------
From Apache's log:
[Thu Dec 01 15:37:04 2005] [notice] child pid 24775 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the
end of next Sunday (CET) on pecl.php.net.

In case this was a pecl.php.net website problem, the change will show
up on the website in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PECL better.
