This issue appears to be indeed related to the C compiler or the
runtime environment.  I'm not convinced that we should apply a
workaround similar to the one in the supplied patch, especially,
since the issue appears to have been resolved for MSVC 14 and 15
at least.

Can anybody else reproduce the described misbehavior with
supported PHP versions on contemporary compilers/runtimes?
