I'm fully aware of all this. Still, the Ming PHP module currently uses
undocumented calls (at least I couldn't find them anywhere, neither in
the PHP4 docs nor in those of Zend), which is not good. The fact that
Debian keeps a (working!) copy of PHP4 up-to-date, even if it's called
the "unstable" distribution, shouldn't mean that Ming-PHP has a right
to break.

Stable version of what? Debian? No, I need "unstable" for other
reasons, and as I said, the Ming-PHP breakage is not the fault of
Debian "unstable".

I pulled Ming from CVS, simply because the latest release (0.2a, which
has been around for more than a year now) is buggy (and very much
so). It will crash sporadically, especially when using text, which I
need quite a lot.

What's happening to Ming these days anyway? I posted to the ming-devr
list as well, but that email list seems to have some technical
problems (I can see messages in the archives, but I don't get any
myself). Does the fact that the only response to my query is that I
should be careful with CVS and Debian "unstable" mean that Ming is
pretty much dead?

Please tell me it's not so and let me know if you can help me get Ming
working again.
