This segfault, or at least a segfault in zval_mark_grey(), has been
reported a couple of times:

https://bugs.php.net/64868
https://bugs.php.net/64827
https://bugs.php.net/61968

Since the reduced stack usage is likely to reduce the chances of hitting
this segfault, which if it is the same one as in the bug reports, it is
happening in the wild, then it is very much worthwhile to pursue this.
