since this seems to be a work around a mysqli bug it would be important to get this bug filed on bugs.php.net, so that I can comment the change accordingly inside the mysqli driver.

Seems to be the same issue as http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=5680

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
