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

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

We cannot update 14.04 to the latest PHP version because my
understanding is that they include feature changes in minor version
updates, and this is unacceptable for Ubuntu's stable release users who
expect behaviour to not change during the lifetime of a stable Ubuntu
release. If I'm wrong about this and there's an upstream policy that
says otherwise, please do correct me.

However, we can cherry-pick bugfixes from PHP's stable branch, but I
don't see a reference to any fix in the upstream bug. Please can you
point me to the fix in PHP's stable branch VCS?

For reference, our full rationale, policy and procedure for stable
release updates is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
