This smaller script triggers an oh so slightly different version of this heap-use-after-free flaw: <?for(;;$i++){0/$p0r=$i.=$p0r;}

Result:
Warning: Division by zero in /home/geeknik/php-tmp/out/2/crashes/test10 on line 1
...repeated 20 more times and then we crash...

the problem is oom while doing copy_ctor, then it will leave a two zval reference on a same char *.... then double free.

I am not sure how to fix this easily. maybe we should not try to dtor zval(symbol table) if php is terminated by OOM error.

Is this still an issue with any of the actively supported PHP
versions[1]?
