1. AFAIS, in Suse 9.1, most modules can be found in /usr/lib/php/extensions. Would it be sufficient to download PHP 4.3.10 from php.net, compile and install it into a different directory (--prefix), to get rid of the bugs? AFAIS, (un)serialize() and (un)pack() are part of the PHP core. Do you still need the PHP come with SuSE 9.1 ? If no, then you can uninstall it and install the PHP from php.net.
The default location for PHP from php.net is /usr/local (but of course you can change that). So it will not overwrite the SuSE PHP modules.
2. To "get back" to SuSe RPMs, is it sufficient to install the Suse apache2-mod_php-4 RPM as soon as it is available? You better use YaST for this.
(And perhaps to manually remove the install directoty from step 1 above). You cannot remove PHP installed from tarball using rpm.
