             Bug #: 30094
           Summary: Bug in PHP 5.4alphas causes segfault on every page
                    load
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.17.0beta1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized

Bug documented here: 
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55305

When a variable that was instantiated in the class definition gets a second
reference as an instance variable, it must be pre-instantiated. Results in
segfault and sudden memory allocations of 1.5+GB in size.

includes/parser/Preprocessor_DOM.php:684 class PDDStack is guilty of this.

Workarounds:
  - Instantiate the second named variable before you make it a reference.
`$this->accum = nil;` is enough
  - Instantiate the second named variable in the class definition
  - Instantiate neither in the class definion

I'm not sure where else this is likely to crop up.
