[Bug 1364486] [NEW] PHP5.5 Crash on certain scripting code

[Robbert]

Public bug reported:

Running our websites requires specific code from an external supplier.
This code makes PHP (5.5.09) and the website crash on Ubuntu 14.04.1.
It's because of a known bug in PHP 5.5.09 which is already solved in the
latest (minor) upgrade.

This is the PHP bug in question:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48147

This particular PHP scripting code line makes PHP on Ubuntu 14.04 crash:
return @iconv($from_encoding, $to_encoding . '//TRANSLIT,IGNORE', $source);

Without this we cannot upgrade our webservers from Ubuntu 12.04 to
Ubuntu 14.04. When will an update come available for Ubuntu to upgrade
the PHP version?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Robbert Brackel
