Looking at the comments, it might be actually fixed already in 5.3.7.
Also it can quite easily happen that Redhat will backport the fix to
their version, so the strict version check doesn't seem like a good
solution.

What I don't understand is what makes
mb_strlen($this->_cookie_iv,'8bit') different from
strlen($this->_cookie_iv) in this case.
