Description:
------------
When a function both
* specifies an explicit return type
* AND uses an explicit cast of the return value,
then the PHP interpreter segfaults non-deterministically with high probability.

To reproduce, execute the following script with the PHP interpreter several times in a row. Sometimes it works, sometimes it segfaults.


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

foo();

function foo() : string {
  return (string) 42;
}


Expected result:
----------------
PHP interpreter should not crash, no matter how many times the script is run.


Actual result:
--------------
The PHP interpreter segfaults when running this script. Not always, but very often:

$ php crash.php
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


gdb backtrace:

Core was generated by `php crash.php'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Great! That was incredibly fast. :)

Please note that the bug did not happen everytime (especially the first 1-2 times when executing the script), so the test case you added might randomly pass even if the bug reappears. Is there a facility to run the regresstion test more than once?
