Description:
------------
While trying to call set_charset method on a mysqli object php crashes with a signal 11.

Situation tested on a stock ubuntu php + mysqli + mysql 5.0 setup, and on a home rolled apache+hardened-php+mysql 5.0 system

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$mysqli = mysqli_init ();
$mysqli->set_charset ( 'utf8' );
echo $mysqli->character_set_name ();
?>


Expected result:
----------------
script should echo 'utf8'

Actual result:
--------------
The apache child process bombs with a signal 11

although Im not an expert on this,

seems the OP example lacks of a valid internal "mysql_link" (created with mysqli_real_connect or similar ) and some validation is missing in the mysqli extension an that result in a crash...

I deduce this because using a valid mysqli link the function works as expected.

This is a bug anyway, no userspace code should crash PHP.
