Description:
------------
Having just been bitten by this bug: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36681 I've done a little digging and found that while the bug is indeed fixed in the bundled version of the driver, it isn't in the latest PECL version. In fact, the latest pecl version (1.0.2) was released over a year ago, which probably means there have been many bugs fixed since then.

This goes against the PDO documentation on the php.net site, which recommends using the PECL version of PDO so you get updates quicker.

Expected result:
----------------
Either a new release of PDO_PGSQL (and possibly other drivers) that at least match the version bundled in with php, or the deprecation of the PECL versions of these extensions with the documentation updated to this effect.

Actual result:
--------------
Reality doesn't appear to match the advice on the php documentation page for PDO. :(

PECL PDO packages are obsolete.
