Description:
------------
If one fails to call libxml_clear_error() at the end of a request (via register_shutdown_func() e.g.) errors retrieved by libxml_get_last_error() may come from a different request previously handled in the same webserver child.

Reproduce code:
---------------
-- test.php --
<?php
  var_dump(libxml_get_last_error());
?>

-- produce.php --
<?php
  $d= new DomDocument();
  $d->loadXML('malformed');
?>

1) Call produce.php
2) Call test.php - if it is served up by the same web server
   child, you will see the error from produce.php  

Expected result:
----------------
One script should never be able to mess with other scripts' context.

Actual result:
--------------
libxml_get_last_error() in test.php will report the error produced in produce.php if run inside the same web server child process.
