Description:
------------
There is a bug in lua extension that is easy to reproduce:

When you assign a LuaClosure to a member variable of a class you will get a Segmentation fault in Apache.
A workaound is to use a destructor and set the member variables to null.

The demo class below can be used to replicate this. With destructor the script will work, without there will be a segmentation fault. 

Tested on

PHP Version 7.0.14-2+deb.sury.org~xenial+1
ache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) OpenSSL/1.0.2g
lua extension version	2.0.2
lua release	Lua 5.2.4


Test script:
---------------
<?php
    
 class LuaTest
 {
        function __construct()
        { 
            $this->lua = new Lua();
            $this->lua->registerCallback("log", array($this, "API_LuaLog"));   
        }
        
        function __destruct() 
        {
        
            $this->luaclosure =null;
            $this->lua = null;
        }
   
        function API_LuaLog( $entry)
        {
            echo("from lua: $entry<br>");
        }   
        
        public function RunTest()
        {
            $this->lua->eval(<<<CODE
_g_GameName =     "TEST"
_g_GameVersion =  "1.0.0"

function TestFunc1( obj )
	 log("hello I am " .. obj.name)
	
end

function TestFunc2(value)
	log(value);
end

GameVariant1 =
{
    numLives = 3,
    function1 = TestFunc1,
    function2 = TestFunc2
}

RootTable =
{
    GameName=    _g_GameName,
    GameVersion= _g_GameVersion,
    GameTable=   GameVariant1
}

CODE
);               
            $GamePackage = $this->lua->RootTable;

            $this->GameName    = $GamePackage["GameName"];
            $this->GameVersion = $GamePackage["GameVersion"];

            echo("loaded ".$this->GameName." v ".$this->GameVersion." <br>");

            // get the game table object
            $GameTable = $GamePackage["GameTable"];
            var_dump($GameTable);
            echo("<br>");
              
            // get the function2 lua closure
            $function2 = $GameTable["function2"];
            var_dump($function2);
            echo("<br>");
            $this->lua->call($function2,array("hello test"));   // from lua: hello test

            // get the function 1 lua closure
            $function1 = $GameTable["function1"];
            var_dump($function1);
            echo("<br>");
             
            $obj = new stdClass();
            $obj->name = " stdClass";
             
            $this->lua->call($function1,array($obj));   // from lua: hello I am stdClass
            
            // the next line crashes apache
            $this->luaclosure = & $function1;
            var_dump($this);
            
            $obj->name = " stdClass2";
            $this->lua->call($this->luaclosure,array($obj));   // from lua: hello I am stdClass
             
            /*
