Description:

	$class->callMethod("execute");

class Test {
	function backtrace(){
		return debug_backtrace();
	}
	
	function display($dummy,$bk){
		print_r($bk);
	}
	
	function display2($bk){
		print_r($bk);
	}
	
	function callMethod($methodname){
		$ret = call_user_func(array($this,$methodname));
		
		return $ret;
	}
	
	function execute(){
		//CRASH!
		$this->display("dummy",$this->backtrace());

		//this works fine
//		$this->display("dummy",debug_backtrace());
		//this works fine too (only one arg)

sorry,please switch "Expected result:" and "Actual result:"...

Works perfectly fine here.
Please make sure all zend_extensions (like Zend Optimizer, APC, eAccelerator etc.) are disabled.

Thanks for answering.

I can run it fine by disable zend_extensions.
Is it possible to run the code with zend_extensions?

Please report this problem to the authors of the extension (you didn't specify it btw).
