Description:
------------
Usually $file=SplFileObject(..) can be closed with $file=null.
However, fclose(end(get_resources())); can directly free the file stream without set $file to null.
It can cause use-after-free if $file gets accessed later.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
  $file=new SplFileObject("/tmp/1.txt");
  fclose(end(get_resources()));
  var_dump($file->fgets());
?>


Expected result:
----------------
report error at $file->fgets()

Actual result:
--------------
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Thanks for reporting this issue!  I don't think this qualifies as
security issue, but it is certainly bad that the underlying
resource can be accessed directly without the knowledge of the
object, which causes all kinds of issues (e.g. changing the stream
position on the resource would not cause a segfault, but other
erroneous behavior).
