Description:
------------
The test script I provided _should_ print out "1", "2", "3", "4", and "5" in order and then it should exit gracefully.

When I run the test script under PHP 5.6.0alpha1 (downloaded and built today from http://downloads.php.net/tyrael/php-5.6.0alpha1.tar.gz), it prints out "1", "2", and "3", and then it gets stuck in an infinite loop that keeps printing out "4" over and over again. It never prints out "5" and the php process never exits.

I can consistently reproduce this behavior on my machine. I'm running CentOS Linux 6.3 on a 64-bit Intel Xeon processor, but I think this bug should be easily reproducible on most other platforms and processors.

I attached gdb to the php process to investigate, and it appears that the Zend engine is getting stuck in an infinite loop that keeps jumping between in execute_ex(), ZEND_JMP_SPEC_HANDLER(), ZEND_FAST_RET_SPEC_HANDLER(), and ZEND_ECHO_SPEC_CONST_HANDLER() from "zend_vm_execute.h".

I can also reproduce this bug with various builds of PHP 5.5.0.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
function bar() {
  try {
    echo "1\n";
  } finally {
    try {
      throw new Exception("");
    } catch (Exception $ab) {
      echo "2\n";
    } finally {
      echo "3\n";
    }
    echo "4\n";
  }
  echo "5\n";
}
bar();

Expected result:
----------------
1
2
3
4
5

Actual result:
--------------
1
2
3
4
4
4
4
4
4
4
4
... the php process keeps printing "4" over and over forever ...

Verified this happens on PHP 5.5.8, which is the current official release. Updated the version number for this bug accordingly, though it's worth noting this bug still happens on PHP 5.6.0alpha1 as well.
