Possible bug in mysql_fetch_array et al

["Daniel Watrous" <nos_pamdan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My understanding of mysql_fetch_array () is that when supplied with one 
value only (a result_set) this will return an array indexed both numerically 
and associatively by field name. The result set would take the form:
array(59) {
[0]=>
string(4) "9542"
["ORDER_ID"]=>
string(4) "9542"
..
Where both the [0] and ["ORDER_ID"] indexes should contain the same value.
If my understanding is correct then I have found some aberrant behavior in 
the return of a particular result_row. Unlike the above the array contains 
different values for numeric and associative indexes. Furthermore the 
associative value contains an uncommon character. Example below:
array(59) {
[0]=>
string(4) "9542"
["ORDER_ID"]=>
string(4) "31[]3"
..
In the above var_dump the [] actually appears as a small box and I cannot 
copy and paste it. The numerically indexed value (i.e. [0]=>string(4) 
"9542") is correct. The associatively indexed value (i.e. 
["ORDER_ID"]=>string(4) "31[]3") is completely bogus. Has anyone else seen 
this behavior? Is there a fix for it? Any pointers would be appreciated...

I have tried adding a value MYSQL_ASSOC to the mysql_fetch_array and I have 
tried using mysql_fetch_assoc.  Both return the same bogus value.
