I think the simple and hopefullly correct fix here is to replace the
$this->PEAR_Error() call with parent::__construct(). I am not sure on
exactly how patches are meant to be formatted for submission, though.

Description:
------------
File: MDB2.php. Line: 978.
$this->PEAR_Error() is an invalid call because PEAR.php has been
upgraded and the PEAR_Error class now defines the ::__construct()
constructor instead of ::PEAR_Error() constructor. If MDB2 tries to
throw an MDB2_Error, this causes a fatal php error:

 Call to undefined method MDB2_Error::PEAR_Error() in
/usr/share/php/MDB2.php on line 978

Test script:
---------------
<?php
require_once('MDB2.php');
$error = new MDB2_Error('test');
echo "Hello";

Expected result:
----------------
It should print "Hello" to the console when run on the shell.

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method MDB2_Error::PEAR_Error() in
/usr/share/php/MDB2.php on line 978
PHP Stack trace:
PHP   1. {main}() /home/username/test.php:0
PHP   2. MDB2_Error->__construct() /home/username/test.php:3

Fatal error: Call to undefined method MDB2_Error::PEAR_Error() in
/usr/share/php/MDB2.php on line 978

Call Stack:
    0.0003     222376   1. {main}() /home/username/test.php:0
