Description:
------------
After setting a custom class based error handler, then using DomDocument, then setting the same error handler again, without resetting it first, PHP segfaults during shutdown. A function based error handler doesn't cause the problem. Executed the three commands in any other order doesn't cause the problem.

tested with:
php-5.3.1
php5.3-200912181330 (./configure --enable-debug)
libxml2 (2.7.5)

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

set_error_handler(array('ErrorHandler', 'handlePhpError'));

new DomDocument();

set_error_handler(array('ErrorHandler', 'handlePhpError'));

class ErrorHandler
{
  static function handlePhpError($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)
  {
    return true;
  }
}

>?

Expected result:
----------------
nothing

Actual result:
--------------
segmentation fault

backtrace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Please try using this snapshot:

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

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

sounds like #43918
 [2009-12-18 17:32 UTC] robin dot kunde at gmail dot com 
that snapshot (200912181530) seems to be identical to the one i used 
(200912181330). anyway, the problem persists.

Happens with latest SVN, disabling GC makes the crash go away. Backtrace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Dmitry, check this out, it's your code crashing here. :)

Dmitry, I don't know what you fixed but the example script still causes a segfault, with same backtrace I posted before..
 [2009-12-31 18:21 UTC] jani@php.net 
Well, you fixed it only with --enable-debug being used? :)

Hi ... we currently reproduced the segfault in the same line (zend_gc.c - "pz = *(zval**)p->pData;":

- PHP 5.4.7
- Very long running and memory intensive command line script
- Always reproducable


GDB-Backtrace:

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Your issue probably isn't related to this one, could you maybe open a new bug? It would also be nice if you could attach a short reproduce script, otherwise it's very hard to guess what is going on ;)
