Description:
------------
Segmentation fault occurs when calling Exception::getTraceAsString() after Exception::$trace has been changed by reflection to a value PHP doesn't understand.

Test script:
---------------
$e = new Exception();

$ref = new ReflectionProperty($e, 'trace');
$ref->setAccessible(TRUE);
$ref->setValue($e, array(NULL));

var_dump($e->getTraceAsString());

Expected result:
----------------
an error / trace converted using "fallback" mode (e.g. var_dump) / nothing

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

I've fixed this by adding some type checks. In general be aware that we can't fully protect you from shooting in your own foot ...
