Regression: getPathInfo() doesn't return parent info

[mycroes]

Binary package hint: php5

In PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4 there's a bug concerning getPathInfo() on the SplFileInfo object. Instead of returning a new SplFileInfo object for the parent directory it returns a SplFileInfo object for the same file. The bug is reported and fixed upstream at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48361 .

This bug is a regression, PHP 5 under Karmic did not have this issue.

The following patch should fix the issue:
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/trunk/ext/spl/spl_directory.c?r1=298638&r2=298647&view=patch

ViewVC url for the change:
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/trunk/ext/spl/spl_directory.c?r1=298638&r2=298647

I hope this patch will be applied to the PHP 5.3 found in Lucid, the issue will probably break quite some applications.
