Description:
------------
There's a NULL pointer deference issue in the var_push_dtor function in unserialize.c.

By running the test script, you'll get following segfault:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
var_push_dtor (var_hashx=0x0, rval=0x7ffff7fdb858) at /home/charlie/php-5.6.3/ext/standard/var_unserializer.c:62
62              var_entries *var_hash = (*var_hashx)->last_dtor;


According to 3v4l.org, it crashes on following versions(http://3v4l.org/BtYZg):
4.3.10 - 4.4.9, 5.0.3 - 5.6.3, php7@20140507 - 20141101:



Test script:
---------------
<?php 
echo unserialize('a:6:{a:6:{s:3:"322";s:3:"bar";s:3:"bar";s:3:"foo";a:6:{a:6:{s:3:"322";s:3:"bar";s:3:"bar";s:3:"foo";s:3:"bar";a:6:{a:6:{s:3:"322";s:3:"bar";s:3:"bar";s:3:"foo";a:6:{a:6:{s:3:"322";s:3:"bar";s:3:"b22";s:3:"bar";s:3:"bar";s:3:"foo";s:3:"bar";a:6:{a:6:{s:3:"322";s:3:"bar";s:3:"bar";s:3:"foo";s:3:"bar";s:3:"bar";'); 
?>


Expected result:
----------------
The interpreter shouldn't crash.

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

Tested the patch on the git PHP-5.5 branch. The test case no longer crashes, and a quick fuzzing of the new version doesn't crash either. But I'll keep fuzzing it for a while to see what happens.
