Description:
------------
The patch for bug #14352 triggers a race condition on shared zvals.
Since the opcodes array in my_prepare_op_array_for_execution is only copied when deep_copy flag is set, concurrent access to the same script will eventually lead to a illegal free on shared zvals in the opcodes array.

Reproduce code:
---------------
This can be reproduced using the php debug build running the following simple script <?php $a = 1; ?> and a http load testing tool, eg. siege -c100 -r100 -d0 http://localhost/script.php

Actual result:
--------------
from apache error log:
---------------------------------------
/php-5.2.6/Zend/zend_variables.c(175) : Block 0x7fab574b2390 status:
/php-5.2.6/Zend/zend_execute.h(70) : Actual location (location was relayed)
Invalid pointer: ((size=0x00000004) != (next.prev=0x00000001))
Invalid pointer: ((prev=0x100000000) != (prev.size=0x00000004))

The following patch always at least shallow copies the opcodes array.

that crash was due to constants which had refcounts of 2/0

http://news.php.net/php.pecl.cvs/11165

should fix it.

Thanks for the awesome QA'ing
