Description:
------------
I'm getting a segfault when running a rather large PHPUnit testsuite. It's unreproducable with smaller scripts, so I sincerely hope that this is enough info.

I must also confess that this segfault occurs with the default PHP package on OS X 10.8, which is currently on PHP 5.3.15.

If this is indeed too old to report bugs for, I would like to say sorry for wasting your time, and thanks for looking into this anyway.

Note that this is the second mac I've had this particular issue with, but the first time the issue went away after arbitrary source changes.

Test script:
---------------
The test script is unfortunately huge, and impossible to really share. The conditions that trigger this is unfortunately also pretty random.

Expected result:
----------------
No segfault

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

On first appearance, no crashes with the latest snapshot.

I hope that the conditions were identical enough to test this :).
If you can think of something that will make it more likely for the segfault to appear, definitely let me know so I can test.

Otherwise, feel free to keep this one closed. Hopefully Apple decided to update their package as well.
