I am on a live server, I know this is dangerous, but the bug did not  
surface in dev testing.

If I want to go for it and update, can you tell me the commands to do  
so as 64 bit?  I assume to update now I just:
sudo port selfupdate
port info php5
	php5 @5.3.0, Revision 3
That tells me that is the right one correct?

So next would be the safe road:
sudo port upgrade php5

Or, the 64 bit maybe road:
sudo port upgrade php5 +universal

Do I have my facts correct?
