Description:
------------
a pointer isn't checked within zend_extension.c which can cause segfaults

i had the problem using current version of DBG extension no as zend_extension installed

but the cause of this is a not validated pointer

i checked actual php5.2 CSV and the bug can also be found there on line 221 of file Zend/zend_extension.c
---------------------------
zend_extension *extension = (zend_extension *) element->data;
if (!strcmp(extension->name, extension_name)) {
	return extension;
}
---------------------------
extension isn't checked if it is NULL and strcmp doesn't care
extension_name was correct as seen in the backtrace

Reproduce code:
---------------
host:/home/testuser # php5 -r 'print "BUGG";'
BUGGSegmentation fault
host:/home/testuser #


Expected result:
----------------
host:/home/testuser # php5 -r 'print "BUGG";'
BUGG
host:/home/testuser #

Actual result:
--------------
(gdb) run -r 'print "BUGG";'
Starting program: /usr/bin/php5 -r 'print "BUGG";'

What zend extensions do you have loaded?

Also can you print the value of extension->name ?
