HTML forms & php 4.2.3 - how to get cvs fix applied

I recently updated from 4.2.0 to 4.2.3 - since doing so values submitted to php from HTML forms using keys - value="foo[bar]" - get truncated in php - example: if I submit "amk@eigh13.com" it will come out as "eight13.com" with a print_r($_POST) I found these bug reports which say what appears to be the same bug has been "fixed in CVS": http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=20024 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19829 I'm wondering where to go from this point. I have a production server which I need this fixed on. Is my only choice to checkout the entire branch for the latest version 4.2.x? (I'm assuming its branched - I've not looked at any of this yet) Is there not a patch? Could I just checkout the applicable files? http://snaps.php.net/ wasn't avilable at the time of writing this - possibly it would have given me more information.
