Description:
------------
When using this Jessie-Setup with PHP 7.0.8, disabling all extensions leaving it with:

php -m
[PHP Modules]
Core
date
filter
hash
libxml
openssl
pcntl
pcre
Reflection
session
SPL
standard
zlib

Using valgrind, i get a memory leak https://gist.github.com/EugenMayer/bdfe97f551caf6923ba5b911b7959476

Even though the linked repo has memcached it its name, its not memcached related. I was hunting a memcached igbinary bug, but this crossed our setup recently. 

Test script:
---------------
git clone https://github.com/EugenMayer/deb-surg-org-tests
cd deb-surg-org-tests/memcached
docker-compose build
docker run -i -t eugenmayer/deb-surg-org-tests:memcached valgrind --leak-check=full --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all /usr/bin/php7.0 -S localhost:8085
CTRL+C

Expected result:
----------------
Not having a Segfault, like running the same with php5.5

git clone https://github.com/EugenMayer/deb-surg-org-tests
cd deb-surg-org-tests/memcached
docker-compose build
docker run -i -t eugenmayer/deb-surg-org-tests:memcached valgrind --leak-check=full --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all /usr/bin/php5.5 -S localhost:8085
CTRL+C

valgrind --leak-check=full /usr/bin/php7.0 -S localhost:8085

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with ,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

BTW: the valgrind report shows memory leaks, but I cannot see
anything regarding a segfault.
