In short, this mean return value from zip_close cannot be used to know if za need to be free.

In extension sources

	if ((err = zip_close(intern))) {
		php_error_docref(NULL, E_WARNING, "%s", zip_strerror(intern));
		zip_discard(intern);
	}

If we drop the zip_discard call, we fix the segfault but introduce a memory leak.

Need investigation with upstream.

Bad analysis.

The memory leak is fixed in libzip 1.3.1, so the zip_discard call is no more needed.

Re-open, as the fix is not ok (php_error_docref will raise a use after free)

libzip upstream is aware of this issue, and if looking at it
