Description:
------------
When I use callback functions for nodes I get crash of 
extension.

I use PHP 5.3.3 from repos.
Yaml extension I've compiled from source code v 0.6.3 beta


Reproduce code:
---------------
function yaml_cbk($a) { var_dump($a); }

$yaml_code = <<<YAML
boo: doo
a: [1,2,3,4]
d: []
YAML;

$yaml = yaml_parse($yaml_code,0,&$ndocs,array("a"=>"yaml_cbk"));


Expected result:
----------------
I want to see result of var_dump($a);

Actual result:
--------------
array(3) {
  ["boo"]=>
  string(0) ""
  
["a&#65533;o&#65533;&#1096;&#65533;&#65533;&#152;L&#1113;n6?L 
and more binary code


apache error.log string: [error] child died with signal 7
no other log entries neither in dmesg.
In browser output got some binary code

you have 2 errors in your example:

1) you don't need "&" before "$ndocs"
2) callbacks are applied to tags, not to keys

anyway, extension should still be able to "handle" this in a 
sane fashion

This bug has been fixed in SVN.

In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the
end of next Sunday (CET) on pecl.php.net.

In case this was a pecl.php.net website problem, the change will show
up on the website in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PECL better.

There was a double free bug with the callback array which caused the segfault.

As indeyets pointed out, even without the double free bug the submitted code wouldn't do what the author intended as callbacks are triggered on "tags" which are explicit or implied type hints to the yaml parser rather than mapping keys.
