Description:
------------
If you pass a previous exception to the constructor of the RuntimeException class, then PHP throws a fatal error without an error message. I have tested those exceptions which are derived from RuntimeException, and they all work fine. The same counts for the base Exception class.



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

throw new RuntimeException("Exception message", 0, new Exception());

Expected result:
----------------
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'RuntimeException' ... on line 3

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: in exception.php on line 3

I cannot reproduce this, it seems to work fine?

Hi,

if I execute the code through the cli binary then it works as expected. But if I serve the file through apache/php-fpm/fastcgi then PHP behaves as described in the bug report.

Cheers,
Christian

If I disable APC for php-fpm then it works as expected. 

Note: APC is enabled for php-cli and it works as expected.

I can produce the same error when throwing a \RuntimeException (without previous exception) in a SPL registered autoload function.

PHP 5.4.4-2

APC is enabled but disabled on CLI.

<?php
strpos(); // trigger error
throw new \Exception('foo'); // as expected
?>

vs.

<?php
strpos(); // trigger_error
throw new \RuntimeException('foo'); // fatal error
?>

Never mind.. the \RuntimeException class just doesn't work with APC enabled.

<?php
throw new \RuntimeException('foo'); // fatal error

Test script works as expected when APC is disabled.
