Description:
------------
In the given test script PHP will crash during destruction of the outer generator:

The reason is that the argument stack has the argument number pushed at the end, so the code tries to zval_ptr_dtor the pointer 0x4.

I'm not yet sure how to best fix this. One would need some way to know whether the last argument is actually the argument count.

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

function gen() {
    i_totally_dont_exist();
    yield; // force generator
}

function function_with_4_args() {
    $gen = gen();
    $gen->rewind();
}

function outerGen() {
    function_with_4_args(0, 1, 2, 3);
    yield; // force generator
}

$outerGen = outerGen();
$outerGen->rewind();
