Comment(by niels.olson@…):

 grrrrr .... I spoke to soon. After clearing cache, something isn't right
 with the navboxes, in fact, it looks exactly like it did under php 5.3.1
 with a not-very-pretty work-around to the parser bug that initially
 prompted this whole attempt to downgrade in macports. This seems weird,
 doesn't it? Everything is hunky-dory with


 {{{
 $sudo port install postgresql83-server php52 +postgresql83 +apache2 +tidy
 +fastcgi +debug +gmp +pear
 }}}

 but the navboxes are broken with this
 {{{
 $sudo port install php52 +postgresql84 +apache2 +tidy +fastcgi +debug +gmp
 +pear
 ...
 To use the postgresql server, install the postgresql84-server port
 ...
 $sudo port install postgresql84-server

 }}}

 Why would the postgresql variant have anything to do with how php handles
 __call() functions?
