I can confirm I'm able to reproduce this behaviour on both 5 and 7 branches. I've been working on a failing test which is at https://github.com/matason/php-src/commit/eab2ae391702f4287fad7c9885d45585d606464f

I'm pretty sure I have a fix for the 5 branch, I will follow up with that and a fix for the 7 branch.

Best,

Chris

I've pushed a commit to my fork which appears to fix the issue, https://github.com/matason/php-src/commit/39c546d0499470b5437e3d24d909b63f994558ec

I'd appreciate review from someone who knows the code better than I!
