Description:
------------
Hi,

In /Zend/zend_API.c:


3482                                property_info.name = (char*)name;

3493                        efree((char*)property_info.name);

but then:

3508        zend_hash_quick_update(&ce->properties_info, name, name_length+1, h, &property_info, sizeof(zend_property_info), NULL);
which does:

!memcmp(p->arKey, arKey, nKeyLength)

'arKey' = name.

The free happens only when interned_name != property_info.name, and this can not happen if IS_INTERNED(name) branch was taken earlier, since if name is interned, zend_new_interned_string_int() returns the same string - see code in zend_string.c.
