Description:
------------
When assigning callback parameter of preg_replace_callback into a global variable, PHP CLI interpreter crash at the end of the script.
I generate this error with PHP v5.2.3.3, and I try the last 5.2.5.5, but the result is the same.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$string = 'aaa bbb ccc ddd eee ccc aaa bbb';

$array = array();

function myCallBack( $match ) {
    global $array;
    $array[] = $match;
    return 'xxx';
}

echo preg_replace_callback( '`a+`', 'myCallBack', $string);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
No crash at the end of the script.

Actual result:
--------------
Windows crash report with signature error.

uhm, nice.. on windows I get the following stack trace:

I don't have time to look at this today, though. The problem is related with the global variable referencing and/or some reference counting bug.
