Description:
------------
The test script below works fine for 10 iterations but crashes (Segmentation fault) for 400000 iterations while it shouldn't crash.

Uses Php 7.2 on docker (Version 17.09.0-ce-mac35 (19611))
with no extension.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
class Lim {
  public $id;
  public $inv;
  public $fi;
  function __construct($id) { $this->id = $id; $this->inv = new Inv($this); }
};

class Inv {
  public $inv;
  public $fi;
  function __construct($inv) { $this->inv = $inv; }
}

$max = 400000;
//$max = 10;

$lim0 = new Lim(0);
$limp = $lim0;
for ($i=1; $i<$max; $i++) {
  $lim = new Lim($i);
  $lim->fi = $limp->inv;
  $limp->inv->fi = $lim;
  $limp = $lim;
}



Expected result:
----------------
The above script should not crash for 400000 iterations.

Actual result:
--------------
The above script crashes for 400000 iterations.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes. To
find out how to generate a backtrace, please read

Stack overflow in GC -- we should have a duplicate for this somewhere. The closest I could find is bug #68606, which is not quite the same.
