Comment:

 Hi @thebfg and welcome to Trac!

 I do believe these are the only locations we use comments in SQL, which
 are there to provide hints to database dropins and the like as to what the
 query is.

 I don't think removing these is the correct action here, it sounds like
 you have hit a bug in PHP or one of the custom things compiled into PHP
 which is causing a segfault on your system, It could even be a php
 security module, which is probably very specific to your distribution, and
 most likely not a core PHP bug.

 I'd focus efforts on determining why PHP is dieing at that point rather
 than failing gracefully and getting that bug fixed/feature disabled.
