PHP extensions can do many things. What you are doing is changing engine-owned memory. Anything might happen. Make sure to either separate the zval of the parameter or copy the string before modifying it.

I understand PHP extensions can do many things, But why does PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.4 
have inconsistent result ?
