Description:
------------
Use of the com.typelib_file to set a text file containing a list of typelibs causes PHP to crash with an A/V at startup.

Occurs both if PHP.exe is run from command line, or from Apache 1 via php5apache.dll. Haven't tried other combos.

This worked ok in PHP4, but seems to fail in all the PHP5s that I have tested. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
Alter a working PHP.ini so that it sets com.typelib_file to point to a text file. To see the bug, the named file must exist, and contain at least one entry. It doesn't matter whether the entry is valid.

PHP.ini:
...
[COM]
com.typelib_file = "C:/PHP/typelib_files.txt"
...

contents of typelib_files.txt:
C:\WinNt\System32\activeds.tlb

Expected result:
----------------
(Expected no crash)

Actual result:
--------------

Looking at the source, one appears to be able to fix it by editing com_dotnet/com_extension.c. The php_com_typelibraries structure is accessed before it is initialised. Moving the call to zend_ts_hash_init() above REGISTER_INI_ENTRIES() seems to fix it... but may have side effects that I don't understand.
