Description:
------------
I'm using php 7.0.8 on Ubuntu 16.04 and I came across a strange bug, if an exception is thrown in the __debugInfo call, it will result in a fatal error no matter what you do.

PHP expect __debugInfo to return an array but it is impossible because of the exception.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

class Debug
{
    public function __debugInfo()
    {
        throw new Exception("Test Crash");
    }
}

try {
    var_dump(new Debug());
} catch (Exception $e) {
   echo $e->getMessage();
}

Expected result:
----------------
> "Test Crash"

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning:  Uncaught Exception: Test Crash in .../BugDebugInfo.php:7
Stack trace:
#0 [internal function]: Debug->__debugInfo()
#1 .../BugDebugInfo.php(12): var_dump(Object(Debug))
#2 {main}
  thrown in .../BugDebugInfo.php on line 7
PHP Fatal error:  __debuginfo() must return an array in .../BugDebugInfo.php on line 12
