Description:
------------
Exception backtrace produces wrong integer values when passed by reference - a regression VS PHP 5.x, as can be seen in the test script.

Test script:
---------------
<pre><?php
function recurse_bug($count) {
	if ($count) {
		return recurse_bug(--$count); // if we use instead $count - 1, then BT will be prodcued OK on PHP 7 too
	}
	$e = new Exception();
	print $e->getTraceAsString();
}
recurse_bug(2);
/*  On PHP 5.x we will get the correct BT:
#0 /var/www/html/frontend/scrap.php(4): recurse_bug(0)
#1 /var/www/html/frontend/scrap.php(4): recurse_bug(1)
#2 /var/www/html/frontend/scrap.php(9): recurse_bug(2)
#3 {main}

On PHP 7.x we will get the following wrong BT:
#0 /var/www/html/frontend/scrap.php(4): recurse_bug(0)
#1 /var/www/html/frontend/scrap.php(4): recurse_bug(0)
#2 /var/www/html/frontend/scrap.php(9): recurse_bug(1)
#3 {main} */

Expected result:
----------------
#0 /var/www/html/frontend/scrap.php(4): recurse_bug(0)
#1 /var/www/html/frontend/scrap.php(4): recurse_bug(1)
#2 /var/www/html/frontend/scrap.php(9): recurse_bug(2)
#3 {main}

Actual result:
--------------
#0 /var/www/html/frontend/scrap.php(4): recurse_bug(0)
#1 /var/www/html/frontend/scrap.php(4): recurse_bug(0)
#2 /var/www/html/frontend/scrap.php(9): recurse_bug(1)
#3 {main} */

As of PHP 7.0.0 this is expected behavior, that is described in
UPGRADING[1].

I couldn't find it being listed in the migration guide in the
manual, though, so I'm switching to doc bug.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
