Quoting Jens Pranaitis <pranai...@phil.hhu.de>:
FYI to others: this turned out to be a bug with Debian (and Ubuntu's)
PHP package. Namely, the JSON-C package is broken. Very frustrating
since there is nothing wrong with *PHP's* JSON decoding code.
Could you elaborate on this? Is this
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=687269 ? I think
I'm seeing the same issue with some users loading messages from
search results.
Debian has an issue with the line "Use this software for good, not
evil" in the source code for the PHP JSON code. (This is real. I am
not making this up.) So they replaced this stable code that works
perfectly fine with a replacement that is broken in several areas -
mainly dealing with null characters. We use null characters a bunch
in IMP data for technical reasons I won't go into here. So Debian
ships with broken JSON code with known bugs (which, I should mention,
have been known for a year and *still* aren't fixed).
