Well you want me to merge the foreach() fix then? I don't because I prefer it being tested for a while so that we don't have a pl1.
The plan is to release 4.0.5 four days after RC8.
I don't think we fix all crash bugs every release. Mainly buffer overflows are dangerous. Not double free()'s or de-referencing NULL pointers. But of course, a lot of crashes are potentially dangerous but we would never have any releases if we'd make sure that there's no chance PHP can crash, ever.
A known, easily reproducible crash is always more dangerous... I have no doubt that PHP's code base includes quite a few different crashes today, but at least they're not known. Zeev
