#45801 [NEW]: PHPUnit testcase crashes (segfault)

From:             jtaal at eljakim dot nl
Operating system: Linux & Windows
PHP version:      5.2.6
PHP Bug Type:     Reproducible crash
Bug description:  PHPUnit testcase crashes (segfault)

Description:
------------
I'm getting a segmentation fault when running a very simple PHPUnit
testcase.
I'm using the latest pear package from pear.phpunit.de.

The testcase is issuing an E_STRICT.

I think deep inside PHPUnit something happens that causes this to happen.
However, since PHPUnit is "just" a bunch of PHP classes, I dare say this is
a bug inside the PHP interpreter.

I've been able to run and crash this on both Linux (debian lenny) and
Windows XP SP3 (both using PHP 5.2.6).


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php // MyTest.php
require_once 'PHPUnit/Framework.php';

class MyObject {
    public function getX() {
        return NULL;
    }
}

class MyTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {
    public function test1() {
        $obj = new MyObject;
        $source = & $obj->getX();
    }
}

Actual result:
--------------
$ phpunit MyTest.php
