The following patch seems to fix the issue

        }


Test script:
---------------
Dtrace script

#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -Zs -x bufsize=20m

#pragma D option quiet

php*:::error
{
    printf("%Y Error '%s' %s:%d\n", walltimestamp, copyinstr(arg0), copyinstr(arg1), (int)arg2);
}

php*:::exception-caught
{
    printf("%Y Caught %s\n", walltimestamp, copyinstr(arg0));
}

php*:::exception-thrown
{
    printf("%Y Thrown %s\n", walltimestamp, copyinstr(arg0));
}


test.php
<?php

throw a

?>



Expected result:
----------------
php test.php 
PHP Warning:  Module 'dom' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning:  Use of undefined constant a - assumed 'a' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /export/home/aslate/tmp/tuiuksys/public/test.php on line 3
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Can only throw objects in /export/home/aslate/tmp/tuiuksys/public/test.php:3
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
  thrown in /export/home/aslate/tmp/tuiuksys/public/test.php on line 3


Actual result:
--------------
php test.php 
Segmentation Fault (core dumped)

I don't have a way to test this, but your patch looks sensible, so I've applied it.

In PHP 8.0 this issue has already been fixed as a side-effect of some refactorings (a pre-formatted message is provided).
