Hi Stepth,

I reproduced crash of php-gtk on linix with php-zts.
I mean running "php -v" then php.ini contains "extension=gtk2.so".
The crash occurs only then php compiled with --enable-debug.

The reason of the crash is a bug in ZE that is activated by memory leaks in
php-gtk.
In case of "php -v" we don't do request startup/shutdown and as result we
don't handle memory leaks on request shutdown.
During tsrm_shutdown() shutdow_nmemory_manager() is called after
sapi_shutdown() and as result we cannot access sapi_globals then trying to
print information about memory leaks and crashes.

The solution - don't print information about memory leaks during
tsrm_shutdown().

Patch for PHP_5_2 is attached, but it can be manually applied to any
version.

Steph, does you crash(es) go away with this patch?

I am going to commit patch in 24h.
Any objections?

Thanks. Dmitry.
