Description

After merging https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/400685/ (later re-submitted as https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/401699/) PHP 5.5 (wiki language set to Russian) job of Wikibase's Travis CI build started to fail with the segmentation fault, see e.g. https://travis-ci.org/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Wikibase/builds/324099938 or https://travis-ci.org/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Wikibase/builds/324502805.

The failure seems suspicious as there is little indication the segmentation fault would be related to the code change. PHP 5.5 build on Jenkins (though using slightly different setting with English wiki language and mysql instead of sqlite) does not cause any of such failure.

I've been trying to reproduce the failure locally using close-to-Travis setting but I get no segfaults.
Also, when running tests on Travis with PHPUnit debug flag, there is no segfaults (build is green).

Also as unrelated change seem to have taken the segfault away: https://travis-ci.org/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Wikibase/builds/324634265, for it to come back soon without a clear reason: https://travis-ci.org/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Wikibase/builds/324668385, I am tending to say this looks like some issue on Travis, or some PHP/PHPUnit bug.

Per the above, I'd make the failing job "non-voting" on Travis, to avoid the noise. Only temporarily, hopefully the issue gets solved soon.

Keeping the ticket empty for now, as maybe segfaults do indicate some issue in the actual Wikibase code.

I'll have an eye on the problematic job, let's see how the situation develops.
