Description:
------------
We faced a segfault issue in Symfony test suite resumed to a simple empty PHPUnit script. https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/issues/3790

after investigation, I found that PHPUnit detect circular reference in arrays by putting a marker in the array, and check in the recurcion if the data have the marker => if yes it's a circular reference. 

This issue: in PHP 7.2 the reference is lost somehow and the recurcion is not detected which cause either a segfault or a memory limit exeeded.

I tried to resume this issue to the simplest script possible (bellow).

output here: https://3v4l.org/6AASB

Few comments:

`array_slice` is totally useless in my code, but when I don't call it, everything work. Maybe it's the originator of the issue => see https://3v4l.org/MFjQI

the method `getData` which returns the recursive reference array is also useless, but, same as before, when I don't call it, everything work => https://3v4l.org/Q73bL




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

function getData()
{
    $a[0] = &$a;

    return $a;
}

function recurcive(&$data)
{
    array_slice($data, 0);
    $data[] = 'X';
    if (end($data[0]) !== 'X') {
        recurcive($data[0]);
    }
}

$data = getData();
recurcive($data);


Expected result:
----------------
no ouput

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /in/cDZmm on line 5

Process exited with code 255.
