PHP 5.5.17RC1 is ready for testing

What's the benefit of doing a Release Candidate/QA cycle when fixes for
regressions aren't merged to the final release?

See https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67965
Regression reported and fixed, but fix not merged to 5.5.17 branch.

File in 5.5.17:

Not critical enough? Just missed it? RC releases just for the show? :?
