Doctrine actually has its own DBAL, which is a PDO based fork of MDB2.  
There are also adapters to work with the old non PDO native drivers.

There are some bugs in PHP5's object handling that causes segfaults on  
lower versions.

I do not develop much over there. I just came to it because the  
original authors asked me a lot of questions about how MDB2 works when  
he was developing the MDB2 DBAL. As a result my name is in a lot of  
files that I have never touched directly.
