Preliminary results seem to indicate that crashes are only an issue for 
5.2.1 with this patch, which most likely isn't worth testing (no 
offense), as 5.2.1 has been upgraded to 5.3-BETA, which is the branch 
being developed for the STABLE release. Since 5.2.1 isn't being 
developed anymore, you might want to try upgrading to one of the BETAs 
and testing the patch.
