Description:
------------
I have this legacy application still using frames with the same init code for the main page and for each of the frames in the main page.  Randomly, I get one or the other frames (not the main page) to loose information about some or all of the globals upon reloading the page multiple times.

I could not reproduce this when using a page without frames.

This is using the php7 module with apache2-mpm-prefork 2.4.7.
It occurs in both Chrome and Firefox (latest versions)

Test script:
---------------
Full set of source files available here:

http://www.mathieuviau.com/php-test-globals.tgz

** init.php **
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);

if (isset($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) {
    $a = explode('/', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
} elseif (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_NAME'])) {
    $a = explode('/', $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_NAME']);
} else {
    var_dump(array_keys($GLOBALS));
    var_dump($_SERVER);
    debug_print_backtrace();
    $error = 'Unable to detect script environment.';
    die($error);
}

Expected result:
----------------
In the frames pages, the $GLOBALS and $_SERVER variables must be always defined.  Output should look like:

Array ( [0] => _GET [1] => _POST [2] => _COOKIE [3] => _FILES [4] => GLOBALS [5] => _SERVER [6] => a )

Actual result:
--------------
From time to time I do get either one of those results:

Notice: Undefined variable: GLOBALS in /var/www/.../init.php on line 10

Warning: array_keys() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /var/www/.../init.php on line 10
NULL 
Notice: Undefined variable: _SERVER in /var/www/.../init.php on line 11
NULL #0 require() called at [/var/www/.../right_main.php:2] Unable to detect script environment.

Or the following (less often):

Notice: Undefined variable: GLOBALS in /var/www/.../right_main.php on line 11

Warning: array_keys() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /var/www/.../right_main.php on line 11

Or even (not very often, but still reproductible):

array(5) { [0]=> string(4) "_GET" [1]=> string(5) "_POST" [2]=> string(7) "_COOKIE" [3]=> string(6) "_FILES" [4]=> string(7) "GLOBALS" } 
Notice: Undefined variable: _SERVER in /var/www/.../init.php on line 11
NULL #0 require() called at [/var/www/.../right_main.php:2] Unable to detect script environment.
