Description:
------------
Every php-cgi/fastcgi process was designed to handle multi requests, but after executing a script file which has syntax error, the php-cgi will crash when next request comming in.

Test script:
---------------
1. start the php-cgi:  
   php-cgi -b /tmp/php53/php-cgi.sock
2. simple test script with syntax error:
   <?php $++; ?>
3. run twice requests to this script

Actual result:
--------------
The first time, request was handled normally, but the second time, php-cgi crashed.

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.

I have resolved this bug after some hours hard work, but I don't know whether it is a good way and fully kill the bug.

1) Patch the source file 'zend/zend_language_scanner.l' as following diff output:

*** zend/zend_language_scanner.l.orig   2010-10-08 20:48:35.000000000 +0800
--- zend/zend_language_scanner.l        2010-10-08 20:49:36.000000000 +0800
***************
*** 355,360 ****
--- 355,361 ----
                zend_do_return(&retval_znode, 0 TSRMLS_CC);
                CG(in_compilation) = original_in_compilation;
                if (compiler_result==1) { /* parser error */
+                       zend_restore_lexical_state(&original_lex_state TSRMLS_CC);
                        zend_bailout();
                }
                compilation_successful=1;

2) Re-compile the php, and it will generate a new zend/zend_language_scanner.c automatically, but you should install `re2c` first. Otherwise, you should modify zend/zend_language_scanner.c refers to the above patch.

Please try using this snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.3-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:

  http://windows.php.net/snapshots/

I can't reproduce it.

I tested php-5.3.6 and php-5.3.3 respectively again.
The problem disappeared in 5.3.6, but still can reproduce in 5.3.3.

In the latest version seems to solve the problem, you can close this bug, but I still don't know the real reason of this bug.
