It works for me. It doesn't crash on your test site, but IIRC it only crashed 
on one other site on me before, and I don't remember where the site was. I 
did test it on your test page before upgrading, and it caused it to crash, 
but the patch fixed that for sure. If you have any more links I'd be happy to 
test it further. I can also install themes and extensions now, which wasn't 
possible before. Am running 5.3-BETA7.
