Description:
------------
getClass($this) and others segfault or leak memory (when --enable-debug) on 
PHP 5.0.3
PHP 5.0.4
PHP 5.0.5-dev (cli) (2005-04-05 11:42:27)
build on gentoo linux (default install flags).

I ran into this using the following construct:

if (database::query($string)->error) {}

where database::query() returns an object wrapping a result set (or providing info on success of the request).

PHP 5.0.3 (and i am quite sure this applies to other versions as well as i experience this for quite a time) segfaults under the following cumulating circumstances:
- If the object is only used once and not referenced to a variable
- If a property is read/set (if a function is called all is OK)
- If __destruct references the class name by some means (others are OK)

When you try the demo uncomment one of the lines which cause a segfault (and are noted as a memory leak with --enable-debug):

//  $c=get_class($this);unset ($c);
//  echo get_class($this);
//  if(defined('DEBUG_'.__CLASS__)){}

The following lines don't raise a segfault:

  $c=__CLASS__;unset($c);
  if(__CLASS__ == "BUG") {};
  get_class($this);
  echo __CLASS__;

The following line don't raise a segfault but is noted as a memory leak (--enable-debug):

  $c=get_class($this);

Naturally the hidden beast came up a long time after i wrote the line - spending a good month of free time trying to locate it i am happy to finally nail it to the ground for someone who knows what he is doing to slay it (it cost me a keyboard and brought quite a few white hairs into existence).

Since the original bug report vanished from the bug list (and can only be found by number for reasons that escape me) i opened  it again (and closed the other).

Good hunting.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

class BUG {
  var $error = "please fix this thing, it wasted a nice part of my
life!\n";
  static function instance() {return new BUG();}  

  function __destruct()
  {
  $c=get_class($this);unset ($c);
//  echo get_class($this);
//  if(defined('DEBUG_'.__CLASS__)){}
//  $c=get_class($this); //memory leak only
    echo $this->error;
  }
}

BUG::instance()->error;
echo "this is still executed\n";

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Expected result:
----------------
# php -n bug.php(cr)
please fix this thing, it wasted a nice part of my life!
this is still executed
# (cursor)

Actual result:
--------------
Sorry that i can not provide a core dump according to the requested
standards (vith --enable-debug) because if i compile like this there is
no segfault (just a memory leak), so i hope a standard one will help:
