Bug description:mysqli_fetch_array(): Malformed server packet & Error while reading a row...

Description:
------------
Initially found a problem with phpMyAdmin not returning slave
information in a master/slave replication configuration.  Issue raised
their concluded the problem likely resided in PHP somewhere
(https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues/13117).  
Was using stock php package from ubuntu ppa (ver
7.0.15-0ubuntu0.16.04.4) so I raised a launchpad bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php7.0/+bug/1675117) which
progressed to providing me with a ppa to test php 7.0.17.  Testing still
has the same errors when using the test script.

Test script:
---------------
Script is included in my bug submission here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php7.0/+bug/1675117

Actual result:
--------------
Two errors return, excerpt below...

kelvin@xxx-server:~$ php php_test.php
