Description:
------------
There is an application which creates a rather complicated graph structure. Some of objects used in this structure have __destruct() method where they replace their own properties with new array()s.

Most of the code runs fine, apart from the very end, where php runs the garbage collector. At this moment there is a segfault. Debian packages come with suhosin therefore I tested the issue also with custom built packages without it. I tested multiple php versions both of 5.3 and 5.4 ranges including 5.3.17, with and without suhosin and with USE_ZEND_ALLOC=1 and =0.

Calling gc_disable() at the end of the script causes it to terminate properly. Modifying __destruct() so it does not try to "clean" itself also solves the issue.

I attach results of 5.3.13 built without suhosin.

Expected result:
----------------
I expect the script to finish in natural way without segfault.

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

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Could you please try to make a single reproduceable script? thanks
