Description
I'm a PHP rookie. It may just be me, but it took me a while to figure out that the Suhosin security features were available as a PHP 5 extension in its own port, and thus I didn't have to wait for a patch to come out.
This is a proposal for a little added wording to the error message generated by the +suhosin variant.

First of all, please note that the extension and the patch are actually two different things, therefore the changed text would be misleading (though pointing out this very fact in the port's description might be helpful).
Also, while there's no official patch available yet (and maybe there never will be), a number of Linux distributions come with rediffed patches ported from PHP 5.3.4 by the respective maintainers (which are known to be used in numerous production environments for weeks), so one could as well apply the patch attached to ticket #29463 right away to be on the safe side. ;)
