Understandably this patch causes an issue with allowing PHP expressions but without it anyone migrating from 5.3 to 5.4 with a simple prefix will break the system. Mabey there is a better way around this. Yes. Enter a PHP expression like the instruction says. Does not say that in the instructions, it just says that its allowed which implies that you do not need too and herin lies the problem, im sure that many have not entered any expression in and now they will see a problem when they upgrade to 5.4 and nothing works, only trial and error will find the problem in the config file.

When setting the hashtable prefix via the GUI seems to not quote the entered data in the conf.php file. In PHP 5.3 this was not a problem but since we upgraded to PHP 5.4 horde will no longer startup, it just uses all the available memory until script stops. If I manually put quotes around the prefix either in the GUI or directly in the file then Horde starts fine.
