"With all due respect - we are using PHP's official
release.  On Debian. As provided by the distro.
On Ubuntu.  As provided by Ubuntu.  On Fedora. As
provided by... well, you get it.   Like it or
not, these vendors are your distribution channel"

No, our official distributions channel is http://www.php.net/downloads
and http://windows.php.net, nothing else.

Distributions, in their majority, do a great job at distributing php
but they are not our official releases channel, especially not when they
use unofficial patches like suhosin or other random changes.

The reason we ask to try PHP's version is to be sure about the src of
the problem, we have no control over what the distros do or don't.

Scott, that's nice but add a test please with the data you use to
reproduce the segfault.

I fixed it about 10 minutes ago, the snapshot is from a few hours ago.

Also reproduced on Lenny using snapshot php5.2-200903292230.

./configure --with-openssl
make
sapi/cli/php ~/core2.php
-> segmentation fault.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

The string tried to decode one of the items to utf-8 and it failed,
this wasn't properly checked resulting in a segfault.

With all due respect - we are using PHP's official
release.  On Debian. As provided by the distro.
On Ubuntu.  As provided by Ubuntu.  On Fedora. As
provided by... well, you get it.   Like it or
not, these vendors are your distribution channel,
and what they provide IS defacto your official
release. Simply by virtue of the fact that most
people are using that channel for getting their
binary version of PHP.

If you are asking us to help TEST the bug, fine -
that's not a problem.  If you are suggesting what
I think you suggested, that is upgrading
to your "official off the www.php.net web site"
release to solve the problem, that's not happening,
for a large variety of reasons.  Nor will it happen
for a LOT of other users, either.

FWIW - on a Fedora Core 10 system, fully updated,
your snapshot (php5.2-200903292030) configured and 
compiled with

  ./configure --with-openssl
  make

reproduces the problem.
