Log: Fix bug #63173: Crash when invoking invalid array callback
 [2012-09-27 16:57 UTC] nikic@php.net 
Thanks for the report, this is now fixed in the repo.

Two more notes:
 * For call_user_func the call with go through zend_is_callable_ex where the check is properly done (see http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_3/Zend/zend_API.c#2771), so this bug doesn't apply to it (or an other function with f zpp)
 * Calling array callbacks using $callback() is only supported since 5.4, so this does not apply to PHP 5.3.
