Description:
------------
I have auto generated 12M script which causes segmentation fault with opcache enabled.

Test script:
---------------
The script is uploaded to https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZMTED7ZcA3xXabVtHSiwtefBkWj74HBSY1y

It is 12M length but very simple:

$ head restore.file_list.php 
<?
$a['modules/main/include/virtual_file_system.php'] = 1;
$a['modules/main/include/epilog_popup_admin.php'] = 1;
$a['modules/main/include/prolog_before.php'] = 1;
$a['modules/main/include/condition.php'] = 1;
$a['modules/main/include/mainpage.php'] = 1;
$a['modules/main/include/epilog.php'] = 1;
$a['modules/main/include/include_statistics_before.php'] = 1;
$a['modules/main/include/include_statistics.php'] = 1;
$a['modules/main/include/dbconn_error.php'] = 1;

$ tail restore.file_list.php
$a['components/bitrix/lists.element.edit/lang/en/ajax.php'] = 1;
$a['components/bitrix/lists.element.edit/lang/en/component.php'] = 1;
$a['components/bitrix/lists.element.edit/lang/en/.description.php'] = 1;
$a['components/bitrix/lists.element.edit/.description.php'] = 1;
$a['components/bitrix/tasks.interface.header/templates/.default/template.php'] = 1;
$a['components/bitrix/tasks.interface.header/templates/.default/script.js'] = 1;
$a['components/bitrix/tasks.interface.header/templates/.default/style.min.css'] = 1;
$a['components/bitrix/tasks.interface.header/templates/.default/script.map.js'] = 1;
$a['components/bitrix/tasks.interface.header/templates/.default/script.min.js'] = 1;
$a['components/bitrix/tasks.interface.header/class.php'] = 1;


Actual result:
--------------
$ php -d opcache.enable_cli=0 restore.file_list.php 
$ 
$ php -d opcache.enable_cli=1 restore.file_list.php 
Segmentation fault

check your opcache settings especially interned strings buffer
 [2018-09-05 18:13 UTC] cmb@php.net 
On a quick glance, this looks like a stack overflow.
 [2018-09-06 08:24 UTC] denis at bitrix dot ru 
opcache.interned_strings_buffer doesn't seem to affect:

$ php -i|grep opcache.interned_strings_buffer
opcache.interned_strings_buffer => 8 => 8
$ php -d opcache.enable_cli=1 -d opcache.interned_strings_buffer=16 restore.file_list.php 
Segmentation fault

I guess, 16M should be enough for 12M file. And further I got an error:

$ php -d opcache.enable_cli=1 -d opcache.interned_strings_buffer=18 restore.file_list.php 
Thu Sep  6 10:19:14 2018 (12707): Fatal Error Zend OPcache cannot allocate buffer for interned strings
 [2018-09-06 08:31 UTC] spam2 at rhsoft dot net 
"Fatal Error Zend OPcache cannot allocate buffer for interned strings" clearly indicates that "opcache.memory_consumption" is way too small

frankly if you can allocate 18 MB i guess someone has lowered the default value

------

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 198K 2018-03-05 16:37 /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/vendor/tecnickcom/tcpdf/fonts/dejavusans.ph

/usr/share/phpMyAdmin/vendor/tecnickcom/tcpdf/fonts/dejavusans.php allocates 1,36 MB in opcache so your guess 16M should be enough for 12M file is pretty wrong
 [2018-09-06 08:40 UTC] nikic@php.net 
@rhsoft: The interned strings buffer is not really relevant to this issue. As @cmb pointed out, this is a stack overflow in zend_ssa_check_scc_var. The test script has a very long (and linear) chain of uses, each of which results in another recursive call. This could be resolved either by making the algorithm non-recursive or adding / changing some limits. E.g. we might want to punt on SSA optimizations if there are too many SSA vars.
