Hi!
     there comes some bug of a already fixed issue (PHP5.4.4)
     the fix(#61998)  is here
https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/90e23107a2acba1fd53b7e799372eb9f24194a56
     but seems this fix is not merged into 5.4.4 when it was released?
     so, what is the rule?  :)
The fixes are merged into 5.4 branch (never in release branches). Releases are regularly started from 5.4. Next one will be started in 2 weeks.

This fix was committed on 2012-05-21, so I'm surprised why it's not included into release. Thanks. Dmitry.
