Description:
------------
SPL autoload triggers fatal error if is called from currently closing session. 
With __autoload function scripts works fine.

Test script:
---------------
spl_autoload_register(function ($class) {
    var_dump("Loading $class");
    eval('class Bar {}');
});

class Foo
{
    function __sleep()
    {
        new Bar;
        return array();
    }
}

session_start();
$_SESSION['foo'] = new Foo;

Expected result:
----------------
string(11) "Loading Bar"

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: spl_autoload(): Class Bar could not be loaded in 
/var/www/hosts/tests.l/index.php on line 14

I got the expected result when testing on the 5.3 SVN version. Are you actually using the lastest SVN version?

I updated PHP from the SVN (rev 304664). With PHP compiled only with "--with-config-file-path=/etc/php" script runs as 
expected, but fails with configure options:

--with-config-file-path=/etc/php --with-openssl --with-kerberos --with-zlib --enable-bcmath --with-bz2 --with-curl --with-
curlwrappers --enable-dba --enable-ftp --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/include --with-png-dir=/usr/include --with-zlib-
dir=/usr/include --with-xpm-dir=/usr/include --with-freetype-dir=/usr/lib --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-gettext --with-mhash 
--with-imap --with-imap-ssl --with-ldap --enable-mbstring --with-mcrypt --with-mysql=mysqlnd --with-mysqli=mysqlnd --with-
pdo-mysql=mysqlnd --with-pdo-pgsql --with-pgsql --enable-shmop --enable-soap --enable-sockets --enable-sqlite-utf8 --enable-

I can reproduce it with '--with-mysql=mysqlnd' configuration.
 [2010-11-01 19:17 UTC] ladislav at marek dot su
It looks like that --with-mysql=mysqlnd configuration causes different order of 
extensions, so SPL extension is destroyed before the session is.

Adding session dependency to SPL fixes this bug (I'm not sure if is it correct 
way).

This bug has been fixed in SVN.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Thanks for the patch, I committed a slighty modified version, I changed OPTIONAL to REQUIRED as SPL is not disableable.

I have the same problem in PHP 5.2.10 (Ubuntu version: 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6.5), 
which doesn't have mysqlnd.  I can work around it by doing my thing in 
__destruct() instead, which works, but I'm not sure that this bug is only related 
to mysqlnd.
 [2011-05-20 03:56 UTC] bugs dot php dot net at elyobo dot net
Also possibly relevant, calling spl_autoload_functions() in __sleep() causes PHP 
to segfault in 5.3.3 (Debian version: 5.3.3-7+squeeze1) and the 5.2.10 version 
mentioned above.
 [2011-05-20 10:28 UTC] ladislav at marek dot su
This bug was fixed in PHP 5.3.4, so yours 5.3.3 and 5.2.10 is still affected.

Its not caused by mysqlnd itself, it can be any other extension, which affects 
order of how extensions are destroyed. You should update.
 [2011-05-20 10:32 UTC] bugs dot php dot net at elyobo dot net
OK, thanks; I had the impression from this that it was specific to mysqlnd, so I 
assumed that it wasn't present in the 5.2.x series (as it doesn't have mysqlnd).
