Description:
------------
This happens no matter if the checked file is syntactically ok or not or even doesn't exists.
In all cases the result of php_check_syntax() is the expexted, but if exit (or die()) is called afterwards you get a segfault.
Experienced with sapi-module and cli on linux and cli on win32. (win32-sapi not tested)

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo php_check_syntax(__FILE__) ? "Ok" : "failed";
exit;
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Ok

Actual result:
--------------
Ok

segfault

Backtrace:
#0  _emalloc (size=Cannot access memory at address 0xc
) at /home/patrick/php-5.0.0RC1/Zend/zend_alloc.c:140

Valgrind reports errors while parsing the parameter. Perhaps we free the __FILE__ stuff too early? Assigning to Ilia :)

I made a few more test to get more systematic results:

1) Check of file(test.php) with parse error, no matter if 'php_check_syntax()' is followed by 'exit' or not, results in debug message:
/home/patrick/php-5.0.0RC1/main/streams/streams.c(371) : Stream of type 'STDIO' 0x4047363c (path:test.php) was not closed

2) Check of correct or non-existant file:
2a) without following 'exit': result as expected
2b) with following 'exit': segfault

After looking in streams.c it seems to be a memory leak.

I also stumbled upon this, today.

Here is my reproduce code:
if (!php_check_syntax(NULL)) { die(); }

(segfaults)
Seems this is not related to __FILE__

I concur that if exit (die) is not called, no segfault.

Version 5.0.2
This should do the trick...

Tested the patch on gentoo mod_php-5.0.2 ebuild.
No more segfault with reproduce code.
Thanks, mikael.
