 If a post / page contains the below JSON in the post content and then is
 viewed in a browser, the page will not render and Apache will crash.
 However, if a node of the JSON is removed, the page will render. If a node
 is added, the page will not render. This is only occurring on WordPress
 4.0.0 with PHP versions 5.2.x - 5.4.x.

 If you're using WordPress 3.9.3 or PHP 5.5.x, the issue does not occur.

 For testing, I'm using XAMMP 1.8.1 bundle:
 -Apache 2.4.3
 -MySQL 5.5.27 (Community Server)
 -PHP 5.4.7 (VC9 X86 32bit thread safe) + PEAR
