Description:
------------
Sorry for incomplete information. I hope someone could help me to find out more about this issue.

For https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail I just enabled Github Actions tests on PHP 8.1 and I got a core dump. I'm not sure this is Github or PHP's segfault.

I do not have a local PHP 8.1 installation to test with yet, so maybe someone would like to run the tests locally to verify.

Here's the raw log from the GA run: https://pipelines.actions.githubusercontent.com/u0loR6uBKIBHqKHhv0hTP4yFrcdLnLzpWEg6qJMnMYCKI8ovYJ/_apis/pipelines/1/runs/418/signedlogcontent/6?urlExpires=2021-07-26T09%3A11%3A08.4028855Z&urlSigningMethod=HMACV1&urlSignature=jdCF19d3rUDCj%2FFF66ORYaUssVkTBh1vJpkIe3ey1yY%3D
