The symptoms sounds like you have a global function (each call handled in 
ZEND_DO_FCALL_SPEC_RETVAL_USED_HANDLER) that's recursively calling itself, 
infinitely. The stack trace doesn't say which.
When blackfire is used, it seems to use C's call stack, which leads to a stack 
overflow.
When blackfire is used, the C PHP engine manages a different stack and doesn't 
recurse, so it doesn't have a stack overflow, and the memory leak would be 
slower.

Infinite recursion leading to a segfault is **a known bug with no plans to be 
fixed that I know of,** which I've encountered many times.

You may also want to try running the same code with xdebug - Xdebug will 
throw/log an error if you recurse more than max_nesting_level(defaults to 100).
https://xdebug.org/docs/basic
That will give you the php function that calls itself.

If you can reproduce the issue consistently, you may also want to look into 
https://github.com/adsr/phpspy (It has a top-like mode:)
