Description:
------------
Just run the script and watch the memory consumption rise. It goes way beyond the specified memory limit, therefore i suspect a simple memory leak.

Not reproducable on 7.0.x. 
Not reproducable on 5.4.x.

Bug must have been introduced with PHP 5.5. This is the first affected version.

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

while(true) { microtime(); }

Expected result:
----------------
Steady memory consumption.

Actual result:
--------------
Right before max_execution_time occurs, php.exe is consuming a few hundred megabytes of RAM.

I added a fix and PR here: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1989

It would be awesome if you could merge this.

PHP7 is not affected. It just NOPs this function.

I accidentally added another commit to the PR. Can you merge both commits or shall it just cancel the PR and create a new one?

The other commit is just a backport from an already accepted one: 
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71144

Sorry for the mess.
