[php-maint] Bug#540367: Acknowledgement (php5-gd: libapache2-mod-php5 > phpinfo > gd ... apache child segfault)

[Thomas Drillich]

Hi,

this is really a stupid bug, the guy who designed gd_compat.[hc]
expected's that sizeof(int) == sizeof(const char*).
So he declared the gdJpegGetVersionString() as returns int instead of correctly
returning const char*. 
So all 64-bit systems must crash at this point, cause int's are 4bytes and pointer's are 8 bytes on those systems.
