Hm, a simple one liner in the shell doesn't make PHP crash, but this patch 
makes all flex forms work again on my (64bit) machine.

Maybe it's not strcspn on it's own but the whole new memory manager.

Perhaps we could just make the patched t3lib_div available for affected 
machines. I hope that a fixed 5.2.1 comes out soon. *

PHP folks never got it right in the first release ;-)
