Description:
------------
This appears to have been introduced as the result of the patch to https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52861.

I ran into this issue while regression testing our application on PHP 5.5.5, and was able to create a short script to reproduce the segfault.

Building PHP 5.4.13 with the patch for #52861 removed results in a successful execution and proper execution of the error handler. Build was on a clean version of the 5.4.13 distribution, with no configure options provided.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

function crash()
{
    set_error_handler(function () {});
    $var = 1;
    trigger_error('error');
    $var2 = $var;
    $var3 = $var;
    trigger_error('error');
}

$items = new ArrayObject();

unset($items[0]);
unset($items[0][0]);
crash();
echo "Worked!\n";


Expected result:
----------------
Worked!

Actual result:

@Stas, could you please look into this?

Here is the Valgrind memcheck output for this:

https://gist.github.com/anonymous/3d813b987629d0eb6022

This is from a PHP-5.6-dev checkout from today.

Basically we are accessing memory that has already been free'ed here.

Your patch fixes the reported issue, however it introduces a regression in ext/spl/tests/iterator_035.phpt

--TEST--
SPL: ArrayIterator and values assigned by reference
--FILE--
<?php

$tmp = 1;

$a = new ArrayIterator();
$a[] = $tmp;
$a[] = &$tmp;

echo "Done\n";
?>
--EXPECTF--
Fatal error: Cannot assign by reference to overloaded object in %s on line %d


The expected fatal error isn't triggered.
