Description:
------------
A call to method_exists may invoke a class loader. If the class loader is complicated enough, PHP will reallocate the stack to make more room. Once the class loader returns, PHP will then dereference a variable that is no longer valid.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
    function recurse($i) {
        if ($i > 0) {
            recurse($i - 1);
        } else {
            class C { }
        }
    }
    function autoload_function($unused) {
        recurse(17);
    }
    spl_autoload_register('autoload_function');
    method_exists('C', 'foo');


Actual result:
--------------
