Then this should be documented in the changelog. But at least this part

-      {status = execl(cmd,cmd,nb,arg2,nt,arg4,arg5,subprocess_ind,0);
+      {status = execlp(cmd,cmd,nb,arg2,nt,arg4,arg5,subprocess_ind,NULL);

hasn't been merged. And it is really needed; see bug #37304, which your 
version of crashme reintroduces.

If my supposition is correct, then this is a grave bug, and after it's 
fixed in unstable, it should be also fixed in stable and oldstable.
