Description:
------------
This issue is reproducible on PHP 5.4.13 and 5.4.18.

The configuration is: ./configure --with-apxs2 --with-config-file-path=/etc/ --
with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d

The PECL modules loaded are memcached.so (2.0.1), memcache.so (3.0.6) and 
gearman.so (1.1.1)

The test case is run via Apache httpd. The large for-loop is so one can send a 
SIGTERM while the code is executing to simulate a httpd restart mid-request. 
Once the SIGTERM is received, the Apache process seg-faults.

In the test script, one can replace the GearmanClient with any extension-defined 
class like Memcached or Memcache.

The cause is that when zend_shutdown() is called on receiving the TERM, 
zend_destroy_modules() is called 
before the GLOBAL_CLASS_TABLE is destroyed. GLOBAL_CLASS_TABLE contains the 
instance of Testing whose static member has not yet been destructed. The static 
member contains a pointer to the GearmanClient instance, which itself contains 
some pointers to functions within the extension's .so in order to self-destruct.

But since the extension .so was already unloaded by zend_destroy_modules(), when 
GLOBAL_CLASS_TABLE is 
eventually destructed, the destruct function pointer points to inaccessible 
memory and cause the process to seg-fault.

A patch is attached that fixes the order of destruction i.e. modules after 
GLOBAL_CLASS_TABLE.


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

class Testing {
    static $data = array();

    function __construct() {
        $m = new GearmanClient();
        Testing::$data[] = $m;
    }
}

$c = new Testing();

for ($i=0; $i<10000000000; $i++) {
    // Loop so can attach GDB
}
echo "Hello World\n";


Expected result:
----------------
The process should exit gracefully without crashing.


Actual result:
--------------
I attached GDB and here's the stacktrace after the SIGTERM was sent:

Modified the patch slightly. The order of destruction of the modules v. the 
GLOBAL_* is important. The module may have pointers into the GLOBAL_FUNCTION_TABLE 
and if the GLOBAL_FUNCTION_TABLE is destructed first, then the pointers inside the 
module are now dangling.

This is only an issue in --enable-debug mode, when the HashTables's are checked to 
ensure they weren't already destructed.
