I've reproduced the crash using a self-compiled package with debug symbols (DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip,debug). Here's the backtrace:

The problem occurs due to 204-start-session-cookies.patch: the change at line 1098 of ext/session/session.c from smart_str_appends(&ncookie, PS(session_name)); to e_session_name = php_url_encode(PS(session_name), strlen(PS(session_name)), NULL); smart_str_appends(&ncookie, e_session_name); is what's causing the crash.
