 > What exactly are you trying to store?

 Binary md5 hashes as the example shows. However this isn't a support
 request so I'm not sure my specific case is relevant. The bug is about the
 general inability for update_option to store a serialized php structure
 containing binary data. At the very least the problem should be in the
 docs.
