Description:
------------
When a lower cased string[1] is passed as $additional_headers
argument to mail(), it may be zend_string_released() twice[2].  I
have noticed this when looking at PR #4995[3], where
bug72463_2.phpt often results in a segfault; I couldn't reproduce
the segfault with other versions, but still this double release
looks very wrong.

[2] <https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-7.3.12/win32/sendmail.c#L270-L273>
[3] <https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/4995>

Test script:
---------------
<?php
mail('cmbecker69@gmx.de', 'test', 'test message', 'from: cmbecker69@gmx.de');

Stas, can you handle this please?

Sure. Not clear how this got into PCRE2 patch?

Not sure it's even exploitable, but since mail could deal with external data, I'll add a CVE just in case.
