Comment(by dd32):

 > added a patch that slashes $_REQUEST instead

 I didnt  see the point in slashing the data twice, and before that block
 is hit, you cant guarantee what condition the data is in those variables.
 AFAIK nothing(mission critical) uses any of the request-related globals
 before then anyway

 > Just to remind: If it's the point to not change the way to slash request
 variables, then this is true for $_REQUEST as well. This Ticket is invalid
 then.

 Not sure i can follow that english..
