Another recent poster was having random characters converted to non-ASCII 
characters. 
 
SELECT j*nk FROM table 
 
where * is really a u with an umlaut, but I dunno how to get that out of 
my keyboard... 
 
It's possible that you have the same thing, but your software is not 
displaying non-ASCII characters. 
 
Even if it's not, I guess it could be related... 
 
Anyway, dig into his thread from a couple weeks back in case that got 
resolved... 
 
I'd also check http://bugs.php.net 
 
And maybe try going to 4.3.11 instead of .10, unless you have a very 
specific reason for not going there.
