Description:
------------
When option opcache.validate_permission is enabled, only first access to a file inside PHAR archive is succesfull. 

All the following attempts to include or require a file from PHAR archive fail with error
--
Warning: include(): Failed opening 'phar:///var/www/html/33.phar/test.php' for inclusion
--

In same time, file_get_contents('phar:///var/www/html/33.phar/test.php') works fine as expected, so that is definitely an opcache issue. It happens even with "opcache.enable" is set to "off", so there is no quick workaround.


Test script:
---------------
There is a short test script:
 https://github.com/alex-scott/php-phar-bug

Expected result:
----------------
The index.php file expected to output "OK" on each run.

Actual result:
--------------
Only first-run displays "OK", the following runs display error 

Warning: include(): Failed opening 'phar:///var/www/html/33.phar/test.php' for inclusion

I've found a possible workaround, but anyway it is important to get this problem solved.

If file is included like this
  Phar::loadPhar(__DIR__ . '/33.phar', 'phar33');
  include 'phar://phar33/test.php';
instead of usual
  include ('phar://' . __DIR__ . '/33.phar/test.php');

Then it works without any issues.
