You mean 5.2.5. 5.2.5_1 fixed a different kind of problem. 5.2.6
has just been committed; update your ports tree, please. Yes,
there was a time window between the advisory and the commit, when
you could do nothing but wait (or get the relevant patch from the
PHP project). We're sorry to have kept you waiting.
