Can you please report the bug and assign it to me.  I can't promise that
I'll be able to fix it, but I would take a look.

Nothing strict.  Since several months I'm keeping master and pre-release
branches up to date with current SQLite3 releases.  I do not touch GA
branches, because that could do more harm than good.  If there is a
known bug that affects PHP, I suggest to update only as necessary, i.e.
in this case to 3.15.2, and even this should probably be discussed with
the respective release manager(s).

Note, that I assume that the bundled libsqlite3 is most likely used on
Windows only, anyway, because Linux distros usually roll out their own.
