Description:
------------
PHP 7.4 crashes while running CakePHP test suite on Travis CI.
PHP 7.3 and below is OK.

It crashes in test while unserializing class which extends IteratorIterator and implements Serializable, and also uses SplDoublyLinkedList.

https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/3.8.2/tests/TestCase/Collection/CollectionTest.php#L2383-L2390

I've tried to reduce test to short vanilla PHP script, I were not able.
Install cakephp/collection:3.8.2 via composer.

Test script:
---------------
composer require cakephp/collection

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$collection = new \Cake\Collection\Collection([1, 2, 3]);
$serialized = serialize($collection);
$unserialized = unserialize($serialized); // crash


Expected result:
----------------
Object is unserialized successfully.

Actual result:
--------------
Backtrace when running on PHP 7.4.0beta4 (cli) (built: Aug 21 2019 08:53:45) ( NTS Visual C++ 2017 x64 ):

Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance)

<?php
$dllist = new SplDoublyLinkedList();
$dllist->push(new stdClass);
var_dump(serialize($dllist));

Missing refcount increment in the __serialize() implementation...
