Description:
------------
Reproduceable with php-master & 5.4.6

I'm sorry for not being able to break that down. Only running the segfaulting test works without an issue and even generating more output during the execution doesn't lead to the issue :(

The best I can come with is providing all the instructions to run the whole thing.

Configure: 

'./configure'  '--prefix=/opt/php-master' '--without-pear' '--with-zlib' '--with-xsl' '--enable-debug'

Test script:
---------------
git clone https://github.com/symfony/symfony.git
git checkout 4dc197c3e1ea227e36cab7ea93877fa44ecc569b
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
COMPOSER_ROOT_VERSION=dev-master php composer.phar --dev install
php src/Symfony/Component/Locale/Resources/data/build-data.php
export USE_INTL_ICU_DATA_VERSION=1

pear config-set auto_discover 1
pear install --alldeps pear.phpunit.de/phpunit-3.7.0RC3
pear install --alldeps pear.phpunit.de/php_codecoverage-1.2.0RC3
pear install --alldeps pear.phpunit.de/punit_mockobject-1.2.0RC4

phpunit

Expected result:
----------------
No segfault

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

Initially I ran into this issue with 5.3.16 but I didn't include a coredump for it. Just added it to make clear it might not be something new in 5.4

Regards,
Edorian
 [2012-09-10 12:24 UTC] laruence@php.net 
you mean , you are running with 5.3?
 [2012-09-10 12:41 UTC] php at wallbash dot com 
He laruence,

i meant the segfault happens with 5.3.16, 5.4.6 and with master but I only included two coredumps.

The included coredump that produced a meaningful stacktrace is from 5.4.6 like noted.
 [2012-09-10 12:53 UTC] laruence@php.net 
I can not reproduce this with 5.4-branch...

could you try to make a small reproduce test script ?  thanks
 [2012-09-10 16:34 UTC] php at wallbash dot com 
Like stated on pecl: I sadly can't. Every output i generate or just executing that one test case make the segfault go away.

I'm really sorry I can't provide anything more helpful but with issues like that (see the last time I ran into something like that: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60825) getting a good repro is really hard for me. I've tried for a couple of hours but gave up.

I totally understand if this is not fixable for you of course but asking in php.pecl encouraged me to post it anyways :)
 [2012-09-11 06:53 UTC] reeze dot xia at gmail dot com 
From the backtrace this seems a test for ext: intl, 
I can't install intl ext in my box because of compile issue.

@larucene, do you see some test skip for intl or did you enabled intl extsion?
 [2012-09-11 06:56 UTC] reeze dot xia at gmail dot com 
Hi wallbash,
  when you got a backtrace, you could source php-src's backtrace of php script

gdb > source path/to/php-src/.gdbinit
gdb > zbactrace 
then you may see a php level script, then we could find where cause the php crash

Fixed reproduce instructions: https://gist.github.com/3690351; Maybe that helps you laruence.

I've misspelled the phpunit mock object dependency and it doesn't work with newer versions (as it, i assume, involves object cloning that newer versions have turned off). Any other minor versions don't lead to the segfault.

I can provide a debug box,  laruence@php.net are you interested ?

I'd like mark this as a critical one, 

any usage of zval_dtor with recursive array may trigger this segfault.

but I can not find a way to fix this without inconsistent field. for now.

thanks

It seems this bug is reproduceable on 5.3.17 as seen on this backtrace 
https://travis-ci.org/#!/alchemy-fr/Phraseanet/jobs/2837260 , should the version
