Description:
------------
With the new scalar typehint, when providing a default value with another type, PHP crashes. 

function a(int $a = 1.2) {} 

$a is supposed to be an integer, and the provided default value is a float. 

I checked this on the last rev of php-src (d9d1948396285583a915018fe9310fad998876ca, Thu Jun 18 17:22:22 2015 +0200), both on Debian 8 and Osx 10.10

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

function a(int $a = 1.2) {} 


// sh: line 1: 49762 Segmentation fault: 11  php70 -l sth.php 2>&1

// Will also crash with the following : 
/*
function a(int $a = true) {} 
function a(int $a = "3") {} 
function a(int $a = array()) {} 
function a(string $a = 1.2) {} 
function a(string $a = true) {} 
function a(string $a = array()) {} 
function a(string $a = 4) {} 
function a(string $a = -1) {} 
function a(float $a = true) {} 
function a(float $a = "3") {} 
function a(float $a = array()) {} 
function a(float $a = 4) {} 
function a(float $a = -1) {} 
function a(bool $a = 1.2) {} 
function a(bool $a = "3") {} 
function a(bool $a = array()) {} 
function a(bool $a = 4) {} 
function a(bool $a = -1) {} 
*/
?>


Expected result:
----------------
Don't crash.
Emit an error message at linting time to prevent such error.

Actual result:
--------------
=> sh: line 1: 49762 Segmentation fault: 11  php70 -l sth.php 2>&1

Related to bug #69767 which is supposed to have been fixed. I
can't reproduce the issue on Windows with this very rev.
 [2015-06-18 20:04 UTC] cmb@php.net 
I can't reproduce on Ubuntu (same rev: d9d1948) either. I get:

| Fatal error: Default value for parameters with a integer type
| hint can only be integer or NULL in %s on line %d

After laruence's feedback, I did a build from php7-alpha1, and got the same result. 

Then, I pulled php-src, and rebuild from scratch. The bug went away. 
I tried again on php7-alpha1, and not it is fine too, though builds were in different folders.

This was probably a build artefact. 

Note : I never could access snaps.php.net
