Net_SMTP potential bug

Greetings, I realize that this is probably a bug with PHP itself (results in segfault). However, you can make the segfault go away by slightly altering the constructor in Net_SMTP. All you do is comment out the Auth/SASL.php stuff in the constructor and voila - no more segfault:

    function Net_SMTP($host = null, $port = null, $localhost = null)
    {
        if (isset($host)) $this->host = $host;
        if (isset($port)) $this->port = $port;
        if (isset($localhost)) $this->localhost = $localhost;
        $this->_socket = new Net_Socket();
        /*
         * Include the Auth_SASL package.  If the package is not available,
         * we disable the authentication methods that depend upon it.
         */
        /*if ((@include_once 'Auth/SASL.php') === false) {
            $pos = array_search('DIGEST-MD5', $this->auth_methods);
            unset($this->auth_methods[$pos]);
            $pos = array_search('CRAM-MD5', $this->auth_methods);
            unset($this->auth_methods[$pos]);
        }*/
    }

The segfaulting only started happening in 4.3.3 and does currently affect 4.3.4RC1. Again - I am only posting this to help others who might be affected by this. I am NOT flaming the nice author of Net_SMTP in anyway. It should obviously not be segfaulting - error in PHP. Furthermore, I realize that my comment this out fix is hardly a fix at all - just trying to help anyone else affected by this. In case anyone is curious: './configure' '--with-openssl=/usr' '--enable-memory-limit' '--with-mysql' '--with-zlib' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.28' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-curl=/usr/local' '--with-mcrypt=/usr/local'
