Anyone have Tayler's email address?  I understand that he doesn't want to
get caught in a OS Holy War, but he has to realize that the FreeBSD
community needs to know the specifics of the problem so it can be
fixed.  The email link on his site appears broken.

I just want contact information for the people who gave him the report
so I can get in touch with them for details.

We use PHP extensively, but not MySQL.  Personally, if the problem only
exists between PHP and MySQL, it's not a major concern with me.  If it
exists in PHP when MySQL isn't involved, it's a BIG deal ;)
