Bug #7859: stringprocessing works different than 3.0.15

From: heinisch@vmx.de Operating system: Linux SuSE 6.4 PHP version: 3.0.16 PHP Bug Type: Other Bug description: stringprocessing works different than 3.0.15 After installing 3.0.16 whith GD 1.8.3, freetype support, T1lib, zlib, mysql I got a problem which sounds so dump, that I thought twice to write it but it appears and is reproduceable. I use php to change some data in a MS-excel 97 spreadsheet I use str_replace to change the data. The whole file is read to the memory (it´s not as big 35k). Now the problem: while changing the desired data, php changes also data which shouldn´t and the place is somewhere in the beginning and after the place where the data should be changed (this will be changed correctly). I have a 2nd machine with 3.0.15 to compare with and it does not make this mistake als it worked until I changed to 3.0.16 Any Ideas ???
