Main problem here is that the code gets changed and recompiled, but was
not being fully tested again. The blobid bug came in because PHP changed
the way they do things, and PHP5.3 is yet another update every package
type change so needs fully testing again.

I think we need a 'clean slate' and check everything out. The available
test suites are giving good results, but not everything is tested, and
we don't have any good tests for heavy usage, although I'm not seeing
any problems on my own sites with pconnect being 'enabled' in ADOdb.
