php5: open_basedir sometimes turns to garbage

[ryandesign@…]

If you use open_basedir in php 5.3.0, its value randomly turns to garbage, causing PHP to issue a warning that you're trying to access files outside of that directory. If display_errors is on, this can also cause disclosure of server information to users.

This is  php bug 48880 which has already been fixed in the 5.3 branch in their repository but while we're waiting for 5.3.1 to be released we can patch it in the portfile.

The fix is in 5.3.1RC1 so php5-devel is not affected.

This problem was  reported on the mailing list by Scott Haneda.
