Description:
------------
Changing a cached value with apcu_store after retrieving the key names using APCUIterator seems to cause a Segmentation fault.

For example, I found that if I save three values into the APC cache, I could modify the cache via apcu_store as long as I know the key names ahead of time.

If I use APCUIterator with a regex to find the key names, then iterated through the entries, a segmentation fault would occur if I tried to adjust the cached value.

It will still crash even if I try to save the key names in an array then try to change them outside of the APCUIterator iteration loop.

This issue does not seem to happen when reverting back to APCu 5.1.7.

Test script:
---------------
<?php 
$keys = array("Test1", "Test2", "Test3");

foreach($keys as $key) {
	$value = rand(1, 100);
	apcu_add($key, $value);   // set initial values
}

foreach($keys as $key) {
	$value = rand(1, 100);
	apcu_store($key, $value); // this does not cause a crash
	
}

$iterator = new APCUIterator('#^Test#', APC_ITER_KEY);
foreach ($iterator as $entry) {
	$key = (string) $entry['key'];
	apcu_store($key, 0); 	 // this will cause a Segmentation fault with APC 5.1.8
}

Expected result:
----------------
The script should run without any errors and ultimately set the APC cache for keys "Test1", "Test2" and "Test3" to 0.

Actual result:
--------------
With APC 5.1.8, a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" or "zend_mm_heap corrupted" error will be displayed instead.

I'm using PHP 7.1.13 and the latest APCu 5.1.9 and my test script no longer crashes.

Maybe this was fixed with "- fix gh#266 refcounting errors in APCIterator"?

Per the previous comment, this has been fixed in apcu 5.1.9.
