[PHP-DEV] Segfault with spl_autoload

[Sebastian Bergmann]

 I am experiencing a segfault with spl_autoload in the PHP_5_1 branch
 with the upcoming PHPUnit 2.3.0.

 The nature of PHPUnit's complexity makes it almost impossible for me to
 come up with a simple, reproducing script (I already invested hours into
 this, to no avail so far).

 It is weird that the segfault only occurs in one out of two common
 code paths of PHPUnit's TextUI test runner.

 Furthermore, small code changes (see below) seem to make the problem
 go away:

 Segfault:

    function PHPUnit2_Util_Classloader($className) {
        print "Loading $className.\n";

        if (strpos($className, 'PHPUnit2_') !== FALSE) {
            @include(str_replace('_', '/', $className) . '.php');
        }
    }

    spl_autoload_register('PHPUnit2_Util_Classloader');

 Segfault:

    function PHPUnit2_Util_Classloader($className) {
        $bt = debug_backtrace();
        print "Loading $className.\n";

        if (strpos($className, 'PHPUnit2_') !== FALSE) {
            @include(str_replace('_', '/', $className) . '.php');
        }
    }

    spl_autoload_register('PHPUnit2_Util_Classloader');

 No Segfault:

    function PHPUnit2_Util_Classloader($className) {
        $bt = debug_backtrace();
        print_r($bt[1]);
        print "Loading $className.\n";

        if (strpos($className, 'PHPUnit2_') !== FALSE) {
            @include(str_replace('_', '/', $className) . '.php');
        }
    }

    spl_autoload_register('PHPUnit2_Util_Classloader');

 Below are the links to the results of GDB and Valgrind. Interestingly,
 when run through GDB it segfaults, when run through Valgrind it does
 not segfault.
