considering the fact that you write this email the very same day that a remote code execution
vulnerability in PHP is found that is easy to exploit from remote and is greatly mitigated by the
use of Suhosin you look pretty stupid. (In case of usage of Suhosin-Extension in default config, it
is even completely killed).
Just saying.
