Description:
------------
Using PDFlib causes a segfault in certain situations.

Platforms tested:
CentOS 6.4 with PHP 5.4.11
Mac OS X 10.8.3 with PHP 5.4.13
PDFLib 8.0.5 and PDFlib 9.0.0


Test script:
---------------
class Pdf extends PDFLib {

    /** Just some public variable */
    public $someVar;
}

$pdf = new Pdf();

//print_r($pdf);


Expected result:
----------------
The script should return normally

Actual result:
--------------
A segmentation fault occurs

Backtrace:
Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at address: 0x0000000000000020

#10 0x000000010026bdd8 in main ()
(gdb)

Please note that the segfault does not occur if either:
a) the public variable is removed from the class
b) print_r($pdf) is uncommented

The wrapper for PDFlib uses some old code construct to ....


    zend_hash_init(intern->std.properties, 0, NULL, ZVAL_PTR_DTOR, 0);
    zend_hash_copy(intern->std.properties,

and 

    zend_hash_destroy(intern->std.properties);
    FREE_HASHTABLE(intern->std.properties);

as destructor.

PHP has introduced new API's for this with PHP 5.2:

    zend_object_std_init((zend_object *) tobj, class_type TSRMLS_CC);

with
    zend_object_std_dtor(&intern->std TSRMLS_CC);
as destructor.

In PHP 5.2 and PHP  5.3 the old code worked fine. With PHP 5.4  some internals 
must have been changed so that now the old code crashes PHP.

This will be fixed in PDFlib 9.0.1 and 8.0.6. The PECL package 2.1.10 already 
contains the bugfix.
