Description:
------------
Hello,

we currently monitor segmentation faults on all of our production and development servers running php 5.0.5 and 5.1.2 which leads to a complete application failure. 

We traced down the problem to be associated with a foreach loop over an array return by __get method within a class.

The segmentation fault occurs randomly either while shutting down php module (while cleaning up memory) or just within the application after the foreach loop.

Using the current snapshot the problem can be reproduced visually (without segfaults) as follows: See Reproduce code

I think the foreach within the X function in conjunction with the $bar variable is freeing $t->errors array, which in fact is wrong behaviour. Using $bar var as input for the foreach makes the application working, too.

Note that this small application does not segfault, but when executing some (a lot) just before and after that code sniplet it almost always leads to a crash here.

Who is able to look at that and provide a patch?

Thank you,

 Mike 

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
 class Foo {
   private $data = array("errors" => array(1, 2, 3));
   function __get($x) {
     return $this->data[$x];
   }
 }

 $t = new Foo();
 var_dump($t);

 function X(Foo $t) { // when using the foreach within a function the error gets triggered
   // following 2 lines have to be enabled to see the bug.
   $bar = $t->errors;  // not using this line makes the script working.
   foreach($t->errors as $foo);  // not using this line also makes the script working.
 }

 X($t);
 var_dump($t);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
object(Foo)#4 (1) {
 ["data:private"]=>
 array(1) {
   ["errors"]=>
   array(3) {
     [0]=>
     int(1)
     [1]=>
     int(2)
     [2]=>
     int(3)
   }
 }
}
object(Foo)#4 (1) {
 ["data:private"]=>
 array(1) {
   ["errors"]=>
   array(3) {
     [0]=>
     int(1)
     [1]=>
     int(2)
     [2]=>
     int(3)
   }
 }
}


Actual result:
--------------
object(Foo)#4 (1) {
 ["data:private"]=>
 array(1) {
   ["errors"]=>
   array(3) {
     [0]=>
     int(1)
     [1]=>
     int(2)
     [2]=>
     int(3)
   }
 }
}
object(Foo)#4 (1) {
 ["data:private"]=>
 array(1) {
   ["errors"]=>
   NULL
 }
}
