Clarification:

I have two Virtual Machines running locally with PHP 7.0.1 and the github master branch (labelled as 7.1.0-dev)

Both of these machines are Ubuntu 14.04 based.

The 7.1.0-dev was compiled from source with _only_ --enable-debug configured. Nothing else.

The 7.0.1 was installed via https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php-7.0

On the 7.1.0-dev the following commands cause the SegFault:

$ lithium/console/li3 test tests/cases/core/LibrariesTest.php

$ lithium/console/li3 test tests/cases/core

$ lithium/console/li3 test tests/cases

$ lithium/console/li3 test tests

--

On the 7.0.1 setup, the following commands cause the SegFault:

$ lithium/console/li3 test tests

The other commands from the 7.1.0-dev do not cause the SegFault.

However, the segmentation fault is caused by the same test case in the code.

As far as I can see, the cause is an include, but I cannot verify that for certain.

A simple reproduce script is:

<?php
function __autoload($name) {
    eval ("class $name { public static function foo() {}}");
    throw new Exception("boom");
}

function test2() {
    try {
        Test::foo();
    } catch (Exception $e) {
    }
}

function test() {
    test2();
}

test();


and I've got fixes, but need more thinking... since there is not only one.. :)
