Where is your patch?
The patch basically renames php_treat_data to php_treat_data_default, creates a function pointer called php_treat_data that is defaulted to php_treat_data_default, removes all mbstrings references in php_main.h and makes mbstring.c change the php_treat_data to mbstr_treat_data in the INIT function and restores its value in SHUTDOWN. This allows us to only load the mbstrings extension on the machines that need it, which is a very small percentage of our over all server count. This patch is based off of the 4.2.2 release and there have been changes in CVS to the exif extension that may need mbstring to be static because it is expecting mbstr_treat_data to be handling the php_treat_data stuff.

exif uses mbstring since 4.3 so 4.2.3 would be no problem (...)
