Hi Chris,

you say you're using PHP with ctlib. Previously (in 0.53) it looks to me
like we always blank-trimmed char data, when returning it to a host
program from ctlib, i.e. we ignored the format element of the "destfmt"
structure.
Now, our behaviour will depend on what PHP is passing in the
destfmt.format when it calls the ctlib/cslib function.
