Excellent. :) I did finally find where $this->params gets set (in
ext/standard/user_filters.c:242), but I figured a third reply to myself
would probably just be embarassing. ;-)

Will do. I'm currently wrapping the experimental streams stuff in a
class, falling back to a user-space streams/filter implementation when
the PHP 5 one isn't available.

I'm currently using the oncreate() method (of my wrapper class) to
transmit the parameters to the filter; I just wanted to make sure that
this wouldn't bite me when I tried to slide the PHP filter
implementation underneath it.

Anyway, much thanks.
