[plug] php4 libpng seg fault

[William Kenworthy]

This is telling you that you have had two different versions of libpng
at some time.  Was quite a disaster at the time for many people - inc me
on a Mandrake system - one reason why I moved to gentoo!  

You will need to make sure you have ONLY the latest version installed,
and then recompile any apps that show the warning you saw - the apps
were compiled against the old version, but the libpng libraries are
newer.  There were some scripts around that tracked the dependencies,
but I think they always missed a few apps.
