Description:
------------
Hello,

Since I got "Interned string buffer overflow" warning with relatively large opcache.interned_strings_buffer, I looked ZendAccelerator and tried some tests.
Through the series of tests, it seems that the calculation for free space to keep interned strings is wrong and it derives the 1/32 smaller value than the actual free space and it causes the overflow warning for some big strings even if there is enough free space.

I hope you look at it.
This happens in PHP7.3 and newer.

Regards,
Takeki.

Thanks for the patch.

Would it be possible for you to write a few words about the tests you did, and how they lead to finding this issue?

And also an example of a string that would encounter this bug would be lovely.

> a string that would encounter this bug
"bootstrap/cache/routes.php" generated by Laravel has a very big base64 string which is 800k long in our case and encounters this bug.

We encountered the overflow warning when we were upgrading our PHP version from 7.2, then I started to see how much to configure the buffer size and found that the interned strings buffer used memory of opcache_get_status was not so high but the overflow occurred in the routes.php.

Tests were mainly just loading the file with increasing opcache.interned_strings_buffer gradually, and GDB step out after I found the threshold.

Thanks for looking at this report.
